Originally posted by Officer DibbleI can. Alcohol in small quantities is good for you (as opposed to, say, tobacco, which is a poison even in single-ciggie amounts). The harm done by alcohol is really the harm done by excess; if you want to ban alcohol because of it, you might with equal justification ban hamburgers, sugar, and automobiles. What is needed is not a ban on alcohol, but better education of the people.
can't fault the logic.

can you imagine the millions a regular bootlegger would make if the government told wal-mart they couldn't sell michelob or miller anymore?

90% of UK hospital admissions are a result of alcohol related abuse, to others or oneself. That speaks volumes as for the reasons for making it a class A drug. The costs are, increasingly, becoming intolerable. However, things will never change! Never, unfortunately.
