Jesus also turned water into a pedestrian area, I'm not sure if that's a good basis for laws.

I believe so.
Then again, never had alcohol.
But either way, with all the dangers it creates(drunk drivers, liver failure) I would vote against it.

No! What if Veronica Capone decided to follow in her Grandfather's footsteps? Gangs would be making alcohol, and then we'd have a second Drug war.
Progressivism 100
Socialism 56.25
Tenderness 50


Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

Considering how Iffy is totally correct about Jesus, I assume you would be fine with making pedestrian areas out of oceans.

Alcohol doesn't make drunk drivers or liver failure. People that misuse alcohol make drunk drivers and have liver failures.

You would vote against it being illegal, or in favour of it being legal?

Religion should stay away from law making, regardless of the matter at hand, or the side it would take.

Neither do deities. So why did you have to shift the topic from law to religion?

Here's an idea for all those saying "I don't personally approve of drinking alcoholic beverages, ban them"...
Hard don't drink them and let everyone else decide for themselves.

I'm not American.

From what I've read, many Americans jumped the Mexican border to get to Tijuana and have a drink.
