I love OP but I loathe the way Oda treats alcohol? Maybe I’m not seeing it but I feel like he treats characters drinking a lot as fun trait? I came from country where alcoholism is extremely prevalent and I know how it makes people suffer even if it’s just for fun? What do you think

I mean, I understand the concern and dislike for alcohol, but drinking is something very cliché and common when it comes to pirates. It's one of those traits everybody associates with the title. I actually think the drinking in OP is like, less prominent than it probably would be if they were treated as irl/common pirates.

#ofc drinking alcohol is treated as a fun trait #it's because it IS fun for pirates #and the fact that they have fun drinking doesn't mean oda is encouraging the audience to drink. it's just something pirates do #drinking can be damaging but it also can be fun. both for pirates and irl #we don't need to demonize and ban alcohol bc it can be something fun if you're careful with it #and again saying that they're pirates and if it's damaging they don't give a fuck #have you seen zoro drinking and sanji smoking like those guys do not care about their health in the slightest why would they they're pirate #they're free and they do whatever they want. the fact that they even listen to chopper is a miracle #when zoro gets hurt he goes to mimir and he's fixed. the miracle of pirating #i don't think it's that big of a deal tbh drinking IS fun with moderation but pirates don't know what moderation is #and they don't even drink that much in this show tbh they could do it more #i understand the concern but a show about pirates will obviously include drinking as a positive thing #one piece
