Should Alchohol be Illegal?

Yeah, no. Didn't America prove that attempting to do such a thing makes things 100 times worse? Of course it can be abused but so can whipped cream cans. Don't see that getting banned because a few people misuse it.

Just because a person does not like something does not mean it ought to be banned.

You must be a riot at parties. As for me, you won't get a hand on my Shocktop unless you pry it from my cold dead hands

Recast its image from this ''cool'' drink that grown-ups and sociable people drink all the time to what it is... a bitter poison that tastes like medicine, has potential for addiction, causes health problems, acts as a depressant, and can cause drunkness, drunk driver accidents, loss of self-control etc...

It has to start there. Once everyone buys that, then we can talk about banning it or taxing the hell out of it even more.

Right now, too many people out there who like drinking that dangerous stuff and think it's somehow cool...

Drinking alcohol can be cool. Alcohol is not a bitter poison, and I have yet to taste a beer that tastes like medicine. Alcohol, when consumed responsibly, can be a social lubricant or merely something that helps one relax. And many of the best political discussions I have had were whe all parties wr

Why should it be considered anything else then a drink? Just because you think it tastes like medicine and want to spread that magic message, doesn't mean everyone will buy into that shit or think it tastes like medicine. I, for one, like some alcoholic drinks, and I don't feel it tastes like medicine, either.

If anything, educate people on the risks, but by no means prohibit it. Because, the moment we start prohibiting it, we will get back to the '20s US all the way down so far that even Al Capone would rise from the dead just to resume his former activities once more.

And anyway, if you don't like alcohol, that's not my issue, and don't bother anyone else with it, either. If people think it's a poison, fine, but don't rub it all over other people's faces, let people decide themselves instead of being a sick moralistic fuck who believes he can intervene in the lives of everyone who does things he doesn't like.

Alcohol should not be illegal but awareness should be raised about its harmful effects and how ridiculous and pointless it is.

by **Divair** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 2:51 am

Absolutely not.

As much as i hate Alcohol, i would say no. Just ask the 1930's.

Ethanol? Fuck no. Methanol for human consumption, fuck yes. Of course.

And while we're at mind-affecting/addicting substances , neither should be caffeine, theobromine, nicotine, or tetrahydrocannabinol.

Why do you support Al Capone?

by **Mettia** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:02 am

I think we should ban banning things.

by **Benuty** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:06 am

No it should not.

It should be. But in this day and age, any ban would be ineffective.

by **Paketo** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:07 am

They already tried that..... All it did was increase the drinking

by **Aquafireland** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:08 am

I don't think it should be banned, but people must learn how do drink responsibly.

Prohibition was already tried in the US. It failed miserably.

You are simply wrong.

Cameroi wrote:alcohol should not be a seperate catigory from other recreationally consumed nerotropic substances. like every other so called (recreational) "drug", that is exactly what it is. nothing "should" be unlawful to possess, (as long as its posseser isn't destroying people or their lives with it, and that on an individual basis, not imposed on all of society).

what SHOULD be, unlawful TO MASS PRODUCE, is whatever a two thirds majority of the entire populace, agrees is undesirable. be that 'drugs', guns, or even automobiles.

to mass produce, NOT to possess.

No thanks, I quite like having access to modern technology and consumer goods at a reasonable price.

Again, this is completely false. The sheer variety of alcoholic beverages makes it quite impossible to say that they all taste the same.

What is with all these lies being used to support banning alcohol?

Should Alchohol be Illegal?
