“Ethically, we can’t ask people to drink alcohol to levels they do in their day-to-day lives,” says Jeff Boissoneault

That's why ethics in science should only limit activities that cause the death and intense suffering of humans. We will die if our scientists are stopped because of such pathetic reasons as "we can’t ask people to drink alcohol to levels they like".
