It is important to note that alcohol becomes a dependency. You cannot dry out like Amy Winehouse tried to do:

It will kill you.

You see, alcohol causes the body to stop creating GABA inhibitors. Without these inhibitors, the muscles will use all available energy.

This is why drunks get the shakes.

Without these inhibitors, your heart is going to pump, your diaphragm will vibrate, and your brain will burn.

You cannot just abolish alcohol. You are literally lining up a death sentence.

Are you going to outlaw yeast and orange juice? That's why the prohibition failed: the need and the simplicity in making it. Very, very bad idea.

Oh, and we are going to bad mouth wash, vanilla extract, isopropyl alcohol... seriously, how could one ban beer?

Let's ban nitrogen! It is inert anyway.

You know how messed up people can get off of oxygen?

Look, we aren't talking about meth, or those in the know call them "Go" pills.

Just drink responsibly like you would eat responsibly.

edit: So many morbidly obese people in my life, like it is silly amounts, have criticized me for bringing a beer to a cookout.

Like, they are taller laying down than standing up, and telling me how I am killing myself with a beer. Seriously, I would have to use my toes to get a count. /facetious, I know excel...
