"Alcohol is NOT awesome. But I don't think it should be banned, either."

Hmm, I think I came across the wrong way when I said alcohol is awesome. Drunkenness is definitely not awesome, but alcohol is awesome in the same way I find coffee to be awesome. It's awesome how you have this drink that has so many different flavours that we attribute to other foods/drinks all knit together and refined into one cup/glass/bottle. For example, Skulling a cheap bag of goon so you can get drunk ASAP is not my idea of awesome!

I think the thing with putting safety restrictions or time restrictions on PoGo is that it'd pretty easily become far too bubble-wrapped and would lose it's uniqueness and it's wow factor. I know if I could only hunt for Pokemon between 7am-7pm I'd be pretty unhappy. I walk to the train station at 5:30 in the morning, why should I not be allowed to play the game then? I also like to go for walks with my wife late at night, why should we not be allowed to play the game then? You ruin the game for too many good people if you put restrictions in place just for a few bad people. Not that I'm calling myself a "good" person and I also don't wanna come across as going "me me me me me", but the logic is there and if restrictions were put in place this is the reaction the game would get: "I work from 7am to 7pm", why can't I play the game?", or "My friend drives the car and I carry the phones to play Pokemon, why can't we do that, no one is in danger?".

It's a never ending argument, really. Some people want OTT safety and restrictions and other people want the freedom to enjoy something the way they want to.
