If anyone is seriously thinking about banning alchol they should read up on what is happening in North Mexico where society is in a state of free fall collapse because criminal gangs are fighting for control of the drugs trade. If alscohol is banned, things will be much worse than that because the trade in alcohol is a lot bigger than the trade in drugs.

Actually when I posted in this topic, I overlooked the word 'ban'. Of course alcohol shouldn't be banned!

BECAUSE, alcohol is a good source of revenue and income for a country and its businesses. The demand for alcohol tends to be price inelastic. BUT, considering the potential addict, a clearly printed health warning should be mandatory for all beer/wine/spirit manufacturers to print in their labels and/or advertisements. They should not be allowed to place TV advertisements and also sponsor any sport events. They should also not be allowed to establish their own pubs or nightclubs, which will lessen the control.

If alcohol is, in its strictest sense, BANNED, then as Mr. Paul Smith said, the size of the 'underground' economy will increase. More people will become drug addicts than if it were not banned because things are 'uncensored' in there.

well, it aint over till the dude says it is

hehehe

anyways

infact, heroine is actually used in medication, so when i said it to be treated like heroine, i meant that it has to be strictly controlled.

I to be honest believe that it should be gotten rid, of and money, or an economy(i know scots depend on whiskey sales), should not come in the way of stopping what needs to be done.

My ppl in america tried to 'control' it. But to no avail, illegals stills came up.

But, wat i wanna say is that it needs to be strictly controlled and cannot be given to ppl without a doctor's permit.
