I wonder if LW (and other bodies) can make money for itself using similar click-thru tactics used on book buying but for online alcohol stores

A web site for promoting rationality giving itself a financial interest in promoting a drug that produces irrationality?

alcohol can spur on bad judgement; but can be useful in certain circumstances. I probably use more alcohol for cooking than for drinking. The user's choose how they use it. and if indeed we have that many drinkers; promoting non-drinking for health reasons should be encouraged. (contention about healthy drinking aside for a moment)
