ummmm - //
Why Andy? Do you know how many sauces are made with alcohol? It'll be like banning steak Diane. //
Let me refine my response - i would ban all drinking alcohol off the planet.
Because it is woven into our culture, alcohol is an 'acceptable' drug in the way the heroin is not.
But it does masses more damage in terms of health, crime, drink driving, domestic violence - it is a nasty insidious evil in our culture and I would remove all traces of it in a moment if I could.
I know the age-old arguments - you punish 'reasonable' drinkers to punish the wrong-doers, which is true, but if we are going to be grownups, we have to accept that just because some people like something, it should be there for the abuse of misusers.
There are plenty of people who would love to, and are capable of, indulging in a self-controlled heroin habit - but we don't let them because it is seen as 'evil', so no-one can have it legally.
The same could apply to alcohol - but of course, we are talking a fictional scenario here - I know all about illegal supplies and crime and all that - it's simply my utopian dream.
I hate the stuff, I hate what is does, and I would stop it if I could.
