Well, alcohol cannot ban. You can make it with just a piece of bread and juice. But with a good education and healthy society people wouldn't want to drink it.

"But with a good education and healthy society people wouldn't want to drink it."
I'm healthy and well-educated and I am perfectly happy to drink alcohol.
Wine can be a pleasant drink, and can definitely enhance a meal. On a hot day, or after work, or in good company, beer is an excellent beverage. A fine whisky can satisfy the palate, just as a beautiful woman can satisfy the eye.
Alcohol should be thought of as one of God's gifts, to help mankind cope with a hostile world. The fact that humans are capable of abusing any good thing should not lead us to condemn those good things, or to feel any shame in enjoying them.
"But with a good education and healthy society people wouldn't want to drink it to excess," maybe.

Yeah, but too many women has never caused me to say extremely stupid things and then pass out.Quote:

Very well said, Whiff. I feel the same, but with the qualification that we must understand that some people are disposed biologically (I believe) to alcoholism.Quote:

I think doctors say there are other drugs more effective than marijuana for those ailments, and it's just an excuse for the pro-legal people to get pot legalized. So there really is no reason to proscribe marijuana.Quote:

I don't endorse the use of alcohol or any drug (I don't even use aspirin).Quote:

It makes sense to legalize marijuana, but there isn't a lot of pressure to because a) we have been lead to believe that it is somehow worse than alcohol (it isn't) and b) nobody will make any money by its legalization, because you can grow it in your basement.Quote:
