Subject: Why is alcohol legal?

Play. Forge. Film.

I blame drugs and alcohol for a lot of the crazy stupid things that happen in our society. I don't understand why alcohol is even legal if it literally kills brain cells and makes you addicted to it. It ruins your mind and makes you go insane pretty much if you are a heavy drinker. Without it you have better everything pretty much(Love life, relationships, attitude, etc.). Our society sucks...

Because money.

People tried to make it illegal once. It didn't go over so well.

  • 12.31.2012 11:30 AM PDT

Because when it comes to alcohol it is apparently your choice and your life. But when it comes to illegal drugs that argument goes out the window...

Well I don't think it should be banned. But I don't understand why that is legal when -blam!- isn't.

Making things illegal doesn't stop them from doing/using them! STORM INBOUND

Because there is no harm with moderation. You know that cars kill people that don't operate them responsibly. Maybe we should ban those as well.



Bottom line is we don't need the government to protect us from ourselves. Let the problem weed out the stupid people.

Cause we tried prohibition and it ended up just being unfeasible. When It becomes illegal it creates a black market run by gangs and cartels, and competition between them causes even more violence. Plus wthe police simply don't have the resources to enforce the laws fully.

Seriously.

My best friend [a Navy Corpsman just back from a tour in Afghanistan] was hit by a drunk driver last New Years. Spent two weeks in the hospital and lost his spleen, along with totalling his brand new Tundra.

"Hello. My name is Stephen Hawking. Physicist, cosmologist, and something of a dreamer. Although I cannot move, and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind, I am free. Free to explore the universe, and ask the big questions."

For the same reasons that cars and hair straighteners are not illegal. Sure, it is possible to ruin your life with alcohol. But it is also possible to ruin your life with a car, if you drive irresponsibly. The point is that such things that are useful for utilitarian or recreational purposes, but also dangerous, are often available, but regulated.

Also: alcohol doesn't necessarily kill brain cells. Follow this link and go to the "Nutrition, Food, and Drink" section.

Serves him right for fighting for an unjust cause.

DARE is not effective. It does even "worse than nothing."

Yep. Sucks but the few bad apples shouldn't ruin everything for the majority of responsible people now should it.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Because prohibition was a terrible decision. I really do wish there was a way to get rid of alcohol.

...that was my point. DARE is a waste of time and money, and only spews misinformation to "scare" kids.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Alcohol should NEVER be illegal. If we don't let people die in drunk driving accidents and poisonings to alcohol, then we aren't American!

Organized crime would skyrocket if alcohol was illegal.
