Alcohol is a drug that is the most common among people of all ages around the world. During the Prohibition Era in American history from 1919 to 1933, the sale and consumption of alcohol in the United States was banned.
Since 1933, alcohol has even further thrived in our society, causing countless deaths due to drunk driving or just alcohol abuse, leading us to this question:
Should the sale of alcohol be banned?
I can't say I understood some of it, but that's OK. I got the gist. ^.^ I do think...
This is a tough question, but just because some people abuse this privilege doesn't mean we all do!
We can't. Remember when they banned it? Al Capone and gangsters made money big-time.
Like Sal said, not everyone abuses the privilege therefore it is not fair to take the rights away of law abiding citizens just because some people do not honor the law. It's the same with guns, we should not ban guns simply because criminals use them. What we need to do is make sure that people who do drink do so in a way that does not harm other citizens (such as drinking and driving) and those who do need to pay tough consequences for doing so.
Alcohol should not be banned. It is up to a person what he does with the alcohol. Men and women need to be responsible for what he does with an item — let it be alcohol, cigarettes, knife, and the like.
Yours is a unique and interesting blog. The subject matter is extremely creative. Bravo! Keep up the good work.
Even if they did, it wouldn't go away. Speakeasies, anyone? Did we learn anything from the Prohibition?
No. Selling of alcohol harms no one.
True..what you all are saying is very true…it will be used anyway but undercover. And yes, just because some people abuse it doesn't mean everyone should have to suffer…but think about this. How many times have you turned on the news and saw that some one or some one's child was killed by a drunk driver? Not all drunk drivers are identified by the police once they get in their car. And what if it was you or your family member that got killed cause some one made it their choice to get drunk and then drive home?And another thing…what is the purpose for alcohol anyway? Its not like banning it will be a health issue cause last time I checked alcohol wasn't exactly healthy. You want people to continue selling it but when you really think about it… what for? Does it make you have more fun? If thats the case then thats a personal problem cause you're a really boring person without it. Does it make you feel better? Thats a flaw in your character because you need a substance like that to satisfy you. There is no valid reason why we need alcohol in our lives. It does no good and serves no purpose.
