RE: Should Alcohol Be Banned? Nov 7, 2009 (8:33 AM)
To say something like that you clearly haven't mature enough yet to know what alcohol is like and tasted. You probably think it's digusting but later in developed years you learn to like it and enjoy it. I think the laws in America should be lowered. When you're 18 you get to that age were you're partying more, you matured enough, you may even have a job or go to a university. It's just natural at that age to be drinking, the laws in America are way too strict. I live in the Uk our drinking laws are at 18, our smoking laws only recently went up to 18 but there are extreme punishments for those who break the law. Drunk driving laws I guess aren't that strong over there If they law was to be lowered the drunk drive publishment should be higher and more firm.

The way I feel has nothing to do with maturity and it's highly felonious for you, someone who has never met me to say I am immature for having experiences. Did you know I know people who have deceased in drunk driving accidents? My uncle has liver problems from drinking? I am sure you did not. This is where I get my certitudes from, maybe it's bias but to me drinking causes more predicaments then it helps. For those who think it is helpful, how? You cannot let loose sober? It makes you feel prosperous? Maybe those are unstable psychological problems that you should talk to someone about over drinking.

No, alcohol can actually be good for you in minimal doses, it has been proven that it is beneficial to cardiovascular health. Drinking in moderation is better than abstaining or abusing alcohol either way. It's ones own fault if they abuse alcohol and suffer from consequent health complications; people must take responsibility for their actions. Outlawing alcohol will do absolutely nothing, except bolster black markets.
Although, you mine as well ban alcohol if they banned cocaine or marijuana (the former being highly demonized), but that will never happen, the government makes to much money off of it.
