If you drink alcohol responsibly it hurts zero people.

I agree though that if it’s something that only dangers yourself then it shouldn’t be banned.

Probably because when you drink a beer, the person sitting next to you does not get covered in it.

For the smuggling side, yes.

However, there was also a large culture of “do it yourself” booze in this country to where “bathtub gin” became a common term.


Are people going to be growing their own tobacco illegally if it gets outlawed?


To some degree people will figure out a way to get tobacco or nicotine. Just like home grow weed, lsd or shrooms.

Most of you probably don't even have a legitimate excuse for your alcoholism like being molested or being Irish.


I don't need an excuse, but I am Irish and I molested your wife.

Not exactly on topic but I remember about 10 years ago when Keith Richards suffered a severe head injury falling out of a coconut tree in Fiji. I thought he was doomed. Even the near immortal demi-gods always had some weakness, I felt sure that was it.

Because it has been part of civilization longer than anything else, except food and sex.

Well, for one thing, alcohol does not get a free pass from government. It is taxed heavily, there are restrictions on how it can be advertised and sold, it is illegal to sell in some localities and on certain days, places, and times. In some states, it can only be sold at state-approved stores. There are minimum drinking ages. I could go on. How is this a "free pass"?

Fermented beverages have been around since the beginning of civilization. Probably before that. It's so ingrained in human existence that to deny it would go against the forces that created who we are today.




The number of people who don’t seem to understand or recognize this baffles me.
