although alcohol is one of THEE most vile substances consumable by man, i do not agree with the prohibition of it.

countries with strict laws and regulations on alcohol actually have a higher consumption rate than those without the enforcement.

people will find what they can't have. i.e: marijuana is illegal, do people smoke it? all the friccan time. bootlegging would be America's next biggest industry.

more people would be traveling from their homes to obtain alcohol, which directly means more drunk drivers. more innocent deaths.

it would be wonderful if there were no such thing as alcohol. but for now, i think the main focus should be more substance use education in schools, more media coverage of the harmful effects substance has on your body, etc. people should have the effects of alcohol in their face 24/7, maybe they'll see what they're doing to themselves and actually make the choice to change rather than being forced into it.

or you could always just beat the crap out of them. HI TERRY!

	I think restricting people's rights is totally lame and unconstitutional. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You know, that's a great idea! I was actually just thinking the other day how much better the US would be if it were a little more like Nazi Germany. Good thinking! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	The fact that people learned nothing from the problems that arose in America due to Prohibition, and continue to stubbornly wave an ignorant flag rallying for it, boggles my mind. ijgejigegjge boggled. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Who do you know that has gotten 20 years for having weed in possession? Ex-cons with about 87 felonies under their belt? P.S. Rapists should get life. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Terrible idea, it will only bring about more crime, which right now is the last thing this country needs. The idea is amazing, but it would never work, ever, period. (Reply to this)

	I don't support outlawing alcohol. I do support bringing down the corporations that sell it. It'd be just that much harder for minors to obtain alcohol if you couldn't stop by any random gas station with a fake ID and buy out a row of keystones. If there were more bars and less distribution, I think that'd be better. (Reply to this)

	As far as i know, i don't think we ever had prohibition in Australia anyway, so if you're talking about bringing it into Australia....thta's a different story. Otherwise i don't really care too much for it. If people want to drink, let them drink. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	it would rape the economy and bring up crime. (Reply to this)

	argentum_83 2005-10-12 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. I wish i could be more poignant with my words. Kudos to you Wesley of coston. (Reply to this)

	it's never gonna happen. i don't think it should. there are a few people out there who drink responsibly. it will only bring up crime and lower our economy. drugs being illgel doesn't stop anyone from doing them or make then less accesable. (Reply to this)

	emo_redrum 2005-11-02 01:24 am UTC (link)
	stupid. it won't stop people from drinking. look at what happened the first time the prohibition law was set... it'll just be a repeat, and it'll probably be worse. (Reply to this)
