frankly, just because we're afraid that the worlds population will like, go crazy without alcohol in their system does not provide us with a valid enough reason to say alcohols ok..

beers not ok
wine's not ok

the number of people who get hit and die by drunk families. not ok.

the teens who get drunk and raped, pregnant - not ok.

the number of families suffering because their parents are alcoholics.

the abuse children suffer by drunks in families?

NOT ok.

Of course alcohol is not ok. But the question is whether to ban it? Banning it will kill the legal brewery firms. Income from western tourists will decrease. Considering the low price elasticity of demand for alcohol (especially by tourists), it is like destroying an industry with a great potential. In addition to this, illegal brewery spots will crop up and the size of the hidden economy will increase because it is difficult to get rid of alcohol addiction.

It is entirely the decision of an individual whether he or she wants to drink alcohol. Nobody is forcing nobody. So it is ok as long as we gain from it. We should not care for the addicts. They are already out of the game. So let us gain from it. Those who wants to drink alcohol should themselves bear the responsibility for their actions. But we should not pursuade people to drink whiskeys and beers either. This means no more whiskey ads.

As a matter of fact, it can't be banned....not possible
we may debate here, but....

alcohol is not just a drink, it could be helpful to people too as I mentioned earlier...
And well a lot of money is involved in this business...

People can't blame their addiction to alcohol on the authorities for not banning them...that would be really lame

nothing has been tried so far...

guess we are too afraid of the consequences

alcohol is present in everything we eat

in oranges, apples everything

but in such small amounts, that even if u ate a thousand of them u wud not get drunk.
