do these rules apply to vague lyrics, that might be suggesting something but dont actually outright say it?

edit: on the note of drugs, should tw's be applied for smoking cigarettes?

just quoting in case this got overlooked, since i'm still curious for an answer?

any alcohol consumption and any smoking should have a warning at the top, even if it's an adult doing so legally. If it's just a quick mention in a thread, "taking a sip from their drink" wouldn't require a warning because it doesn't say the drink is alcoholic.

If it's in a signature and it's only vague you don't need a warning, but explicit lyrics should be avoided.
In a post, ye a warning should be included

what if you have like all of these in a thread, can you just generalise it as "uncomfortable topics, death, blood" or something like that??

If you had a lot of different things you'd want to warn for all of them specifically, though you could include a general warning as well but like. yeah a general warning wouldn't be enough to replace specifically stating the content of your thread

also just wanted to check, but if a thread is like, set in a bar or a party where there's obviously going to be drinking throughout the thread, would it be enough to put a tw at the top of the thread for alcohol throughout the thread, rather than in every post?
