Do you think Alcohol should be banned ?!


Question: Do you think Alcohol should be banned !?
Its cause more problems for the community than what its worth!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I hate alcohol with a passion, for personal reasons!.!. trust me, I cannot stand it!. It does cause a lot of damage, and I've never seen the point , personally, of having to drink to have a good time!.

However, i don't think there would be any point in banning it again!. It was attempted before, and people found ways to do it anyway!. It would cause more trouble to ban it than to just leave it be!.

I'm a strong believer in personal choice!.

I personally cant stand the idea of alcohol in any situation!.!.but because I have the right to hate it, I feel like others should have the right to enjoy it, you know!?

Anyway, hope that wasn't too long of an answer! lol :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

No it shouldn't and it only causes those problems when its consumed irresponsibly!. If you don't drink to the point where you become aggressive, drink and drive, drink and rob places etc, or drink to the point where your body needs it and you use it responsibly then it does Absolutely no harm!. Alcohol helps people relax and unwind after having a hard day, or to make their night out with friends more fun!. The people who consume it legally and properly enjoy doing so, and should have every right to do so!. Anything that can make your life a little better by helping you take some time for yourself is a good thing!.

If it was banned it would just cause more people to be arrested and become criminals for doing something that doesn't effect anyone but themselves!. The people who deserve to be incriminated for drinking alochol are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

How do you know it's worth!? Without alcohol, do you think the pace of life or the need for an awesome life "anesthesia" will disappear!? You a think there's a reason why people like, enjoy even need alcohol!?

We over work, over stress, take pills to make it better, **** our kids up, blame others, feel depressed, get sick, more pills to heal the sick, spread viruses, cheat and lie, **** around!.!.!.and at the end of it, no you don't want to cure "us, humanity",no you want to banned alcohol!. Because that's what's wrong with society! ALCOHOL is the cause of our depravity!.!.!.no wait!.!.!.It's more like a means!.!.!.as to how we can live with our ****** up selves!.

How many people say stop "whatever", because it's easier to blame something rather than to stand up and fix the actual problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It would certainly be better for society if we didn't have/allow alcohol!. However, realistically we'll never get rid of it now!. It's been around since before recorded history, so a ban is just not feasible!. A much better approach would be to heavily educate people to the dangers of it!. And start making it a culture issue instead!. Turn drinking into an activity that is frowned upon so people drink less on their own!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, you can't ban something because of potentially harmful use!. Too much food causes obesity, fast driving causes accidents, a hunting gun can kill someone!. Start down the 'potentially problematic' things list and you'll never stop!.

What its 'worth' is a very fluid concept!. Nothing to me cause I think it tastes like crap, a lot to my neighbour who wants to relax after a 12h day with a movie and a drink ;)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. Just as soon as I can find something that you really want/like and then we can outlaw it also!.

You want more laws to control your life!? We already have town and cities banning all kinds of things for one cause or another!. Chicago banned pate foi gras and smoking ( virtually) and firearms!. That alone caused more problems for business than anything else!.

All types of government have way to much say in how we live!. Please say your kidding!Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes, but it wouldn't do any good:

people would still brew it and sell it out of their house so if you put those "brewing/selling/buying illegal substance" crimes on top of drunk driving, accidents caused by drunk driving, public intoxication, etc we'd run out of jail cells and the community would have to pay even more to have these criminals locked up!.

Not to mention bars, liquor stores, alcohol companies would get shut down resulting in a crap ton of unemployment, which means our taxes would have to help support those people!.

If there weren't major backlashes like that, I would have to agree with you!. I think alcohol is right up there with heroin and because it's legal people (especially teens) assume it's a safe drug!. :(Www@FoodAQ@Com

"for doing something that doesn't effect anyone but themselves"

im sure u didnt mean to say it like this but what about the family members that have to put up with domestic abuse or worst!? how about the little kids that get ran over by the stupid drunk guy behind the wheel on the street, right infront of his house!? or the family members from the kids families!? what about all the fights that go on in bars or in the street cuz of drinking!. somebody gets a fist to the face and screws up his vision or something!. a guy in a car put everybody in the street in danger!. i think is safe to say that is everybodys problem!. those are just examples from a few different scenarios!. there is milions of ways in which a guy that is impared by alcohol could do to harm others!. not to mention he is messing his brain cells and is waiting for his liber to fail!. he is affecting everybody man!. what he is doing to his body is second to the potential harm he can cause elsewhere!.

i do think it should be banned but like many i believe that is impossible!. people wont allow it and im sure neither will the government!. in a perfect world alcohol could be banned but in the real world u can only educate the kids and hope that our lessons will help all make smarter decisions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No! it's just the ones that have to make it into a toy to live dumb as they can so they do not have to face life's pressures!.!.!.so they get so bombed and lay drunk days on end!. but that is only into irresponsible personal life's!.so it's the wish of the individual to act responsible or irresponsible!.it is the peoples will,not the product!.!.but the problem is more people acting irresponsible, so that is where the problem comes in!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I can see your point there are so many addicted to it!. However, there are many people who can enjoy the occasional cocktail and not have it influence there behavior in a bad way!. I am one of them!. I would be a little disappointed to know I can't go have dinner and have a drink because of the actions of other irresponsible people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Uhm, have you ever studied prohibition!? Do you realize that banning/outlawing alcohol will cause the crime rate to sky rocket!? Think of the black market and the mob, etc all descending like vultures!.!.!.!.!.!.!. No, it's best to keep liquor legal, and let the gov tax it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. Safer for everyone that way!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No that would be stupid, are you retarded!?!?!? Just because you can't just relax and have a good time doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't be able to!. Alcohol has been around for 1000's of years and its not going any where fast!. Alcohol was here before you buddy so just leave it alone- your the minority here!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ITs not a course for all the problems but major problems though and in my entire career as a manager of a five star hotel !.!. i have seen many infact most of the problems are from drunken people and each time they are drunk they really forget what is humanity!. the truth is that people induge in it knowing the very harm for social and personel life!.!. but its there choice!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah thats what all the nuns said when they banned it in the 20s

and then soon after that they all said "HOLY SH*T!! with all these gangsters and crime and peoples dyin, it's even worse than what was going on before!! AHHHHHH!!!!"

hence why they legalized it again ;DWww@FoodAQ@Com

Banning it might be a bit extreme, but we definately need to control access to it by youth worldwide !.!. it's been a problem for generations but until I joined y!a I didn't realise to what extent!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

depends on where you live & the responsibility level of the people who live there and what type of Alcohol you are referring to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In my opinion, I don't think it should!. Alcohol, being an inanimate object doesn't cause anything!. The people who drink too much of it and lose control should be banned from alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes ban it!. It doesn't matter to me!. i live in ohio and by law I am allowed to own and operate a still and possess 7 gallons at any given time!. I don't go to bars so I don't care!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you feel that way then don't drink but don't mess it up for the other people who don't share your view and wish to continue living their lives the way they see fit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Personly i don't abuse Alcahool but i don'r think it should be banned at all!. we should have the right to choose!. i think people should be more responsible and aware!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Alcohol itself is not bad, we need alcohol for cooking, medicinal purposes etc!.!. Abusing alcohol is what should be banned!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No I don't, I'm not a drinker; although, I do enjoy a cocktail now and again!.!.Why not give me the right to do so!? It is not my fault that other people are out of control is it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't do drugs and I don't drink (drinking becomes difficult once you have a kid) but if they banned alcohol then they need to legalize pot because people are going to go nuts!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

NO its a choice and a right to everyone and do you remember what happened last time they tried to ban alcohol during prohibition!? IT DIDN'T WORK!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They tried that during the Prohibition!. You think the Mexican Drug Lords are bad now, wait until we ban alcohol!. They'll be using severed heads for balls at the bowling alley!Www@FoodAQ@Com

They've tried banning it and it caused even more problems!.
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Prohibition!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
