I ageee with you on this. The biggest issue was trust not alcohol. But alcohol limits the sense of judgement. So maybe alcohol played a vital role.The_Vivian wrote: ↑01 Jul 2020, 16:17 Alcohol may have been one of their obstacles, but in my opinion, I think the largest of all was the lack of trust amongst them. If they had trusted each other, the alcohol would have been a minor obstacle.

Their lack of communication was their major obstacle.

I know cases where a drunk asshole literally ruined expeditions of 20 or 30 people because of his aberrant behavior.
They are a danger to themselves and to those around them. The worst are the morons who, on top of that, think they are cunning for sucking up to the water in the vases.
Seriously, damn, people like that better stay in their well-kept houses and since they know how to drink as God commands, at least have the decency not to be exposed in such a rude way.

Very well said. It is the temptation that rendered alcohol to be the problem and not the other way around. Kill the temptation, and the alcohol is just something being carried along.

I totally agree with you. The human beings did not have a mastery of themselves they were totally out of control and this was the main obstacle. If they has a little respect for each other they would have established communication channels, they would have respected nature and not tried to bully the wolves, they wouldn't have over indulged in alcohol. The emphasis here is they lacked respect for themselves, each other and nature.
