Should alcohol be illegal?

[machidafan99]

there's sooooo many functional alcoholics, not just the whole of England but lots in other places too.

well it certainly shouldn't be legal over marijuana

one kills thousands per yer, one has never killed a single person ever in history....

same w/ tobacco

Unfortunately, two thirds of the Triangle Trade that helped our fledgling nation stay afloat were Tobacco, and Molasses (for use in Rum)

That being said, we did get rid of that last third of the triangle....

Lol at thousands

millions?
38k died from liver disease/cirrhosis in 2014 in the US ALONE.....
13.3k died from drunk driving accidents in 2010 alone

Yes, but should've done that way way way before it became so ingrained into society. Now it's just part of it and no one is going to want to give it up.

Ingrained like smoking was?

millions?

90,000 in the US at an average of 30 years under life expectancy.

2.5-3 million worldwide

Its addiction potential, list of diseases it causes, number of people it kills both through disease and other ways, suffering in people it doesn't kill, etc. is unbelievable.

We ban other drugs. Why not alcohol?

ban food then.
alcohol is fine. there are studies showing benefits in MODERATE amounts. too much is the problem. you can die from drinking too much water.
