A alcoholic beverage with a low alcohol content consumed innocently without the intent of getting buzzed or drunk. It ends up being the starting point before moving onto hard liquor and the inevitable hangover that will follow.
“Last night I was out for sushi and drank some sake. At some point I moved onto high end vodka and now it feels like a gang of honey badgers had an orgy in my skull before parking a van on it.”
Examples of Gateway Drunk beverages include, but are not limited to: Beer (non IPA), wine, sake, Mike’s Hard Lemonade (and similar products).

(v) Gateway Cuddling happens when you have zero intentions on just cuddling with someone. The intentions are very much geared towards making the cuddling session into something more sexual.
"Danny said he just wanted to cuddle but I knew it would be more of a gateway cuddling date with him."

Gateway Conspiracy Theory.
Typically a conspiracy that does less harm than the other theories.
It often leads to more dangerous conspiracy theories.
Hence the term " gateway"
E.G: flerfers or flat-earthers theory could be less dangerous than say, a theory that the the elites are out to destroy us all, as it USUALLY has no real-life consequence.
Whereas a conspiracy theory that states the elites are out to destroy us all can lead upto and include death by suicide, paranoia, etc.

That bloke that topped himself used to just be into #GatewayConspiracyTheories, flat earth, etc.
Then he went onto the hard stuff, like the elites want to kill us all.

An overly politicized, required course of all engineers at Columbia University. Initially a brilliant idea to introduce freshmen engineers to real world engineering, eventually a tool of power players at the school to advertise to the surrounding Harlem community and students looking to apply (not to mention donors). Gateway involves team projects oriented around community projects. Though there are exceptions, many of the projects require some sort of highly technical expertise not known by freshmen, or are so open ended that it could take a team of industrial designers two years to come up with an idea.

Any law so ridiculous that it causes a person to ignore it, making it easier for that individual to break other laws, often escalating the significance of their crimes. Generally creating a lifelong criminal.
I wish our lawmakers would take positions more seriously and stop passing gateway laws to score political points, it just leads to disregard for all laws.
