Not so sure. I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die, failed to sweep him under a rug, and now I've got the Folsom Prison blues.
On the up side, your musical career just got a boost!

Do you follow their lead, or do you try to set a better example? Does it become harder to do what you know is best?
Your question is massively generalized. A little bit in every bucket, but obviously I think I'm aiming for better.
One of my newish mantras is: "Apologizing is what we expect of 9-year-olds. Older children are expected to make compensations or repairs. Adults are expected to modify their own behavior in the future."

I think this goes for Engineers as well. In fact, I say the biggest skill I want from a SENIOR developer regardless of years of experience is humility. Someone who "cannot do wrong" and is a toxic about it will poison the rest of the team with their toxicity. But the seniors who are more open to feedback even from Junior developers, those are the ones everyone else follows to hell and back because they're there with you through it all so you're there with them through it all too.
We are all humans, not robots. Heck, even the LLMs mess up.
So far, we have "it's also true for teachers!", "it's also true for parents!", and "it's also true for engineers!".
It's also true for all humans.

> I'm fairly sure that's mostly consensus
The consensus is that's it's terrible try-hard partisan political satire? Can you go into more detail?
A few of their peers casually said so, likely. Who has time to do a market survey to determine what they should read?

Yeah but in most dishes a fair share of alcohol is vaporized during cooking.
I used to believe this, but tests reveal that the losses are only about 20-80%, depending on cooking style (pan frying removes the most; baking retains the most). I was very surprised.
OTOH, if you're eating tiramisu to get a buzz, you may be the world's most inefficient alcoholic ever.

If you dig a tiny bit into mixology, you'll notice the ludicrous amounts of sugar that goes into cocktails.
An espresso martini has 80% of your daily sugar intake. That's 25g of sugar. Moscow mule 75%, Sangria 70%. All of those in one single serving.
I'd wager most people don't stop at one drink.
Daiquiri has sugar. Espresso martini has sugar syrup. A gimlet has simple syrup. Irish coffee has sugar. Long Island Ice Tea has more sugar syrup than any single liquor. Mai Tai has simple syrup. Mojito has cane sugar.
Yes, drinking mai tai's (which are incredibly rare drinks, BTW) is like ... drinking soda pop. Way too much sugar. So are other cocktails - similar to soda pop, except consumed in quantities of 4-12 oz instead of the 12-24 oz servings of pop.
Arguing that alcohol is bad because many popular drinks have too much sugar is simply a bizarre take. It's like worrying about second-hand smoke from too much gun violence.

Alcohol is a toxin that your liver must work to break down, provides empty calories with no nutritional value, disrupts sleep quality, impairs judgment and coordination, and even moderate consumption increases risks of cancer, heart disease, and other health problems. Any perceived benefits are vastly outweighed by these inherent harms.
You have argued one half of the equation, and stated that the other side cannot possibly add up that high.
You've just replicated the "Watchmaker" argument of creationists: "Random chance can't account for these low probabilities that we can't yet quantified."
