I haven't noticed the problem getting much better. People are still getting pulled over and testing positive. Rehab centers are still jam-packed full of people forced there by the state and local governments because they were discovered with a blood-alcohol content above the legal limit. People are still slamming into other people while driving drunk and wiping out entire families with one foul swoop. People are still getting ripped in bars and picking fights with random joe schmoe, knocking his teeth out and beating him senseless due to an inability to inhibit their actions under the influence. The blood-alcohol content limits in many states are constantly being lowered because people are not getting the message and are continuing this behavior, yet no matter how low they make it the problem never goes away. You can't ban drinking all together, we already tried that. For one those "crazy christians" wouldnt be able to practice their sacrament and would throw a fit. That christian lobby seems just as strong, if not stronger than the tobacco lobby, maybe we should badmouth them too. And dont forget the incense they use at those churches/temples/mosques/etc.. those are damaging to all the parishioners/worshipers, how dare that priest/rabbi/mullah wave their incense around in a building full of loyal parishioners and followers and give them a risk of cancer?! If you ban one smoke you must ban them all..? It worked for marijuana, right? No one smokes that evil stigmatized plant anymore! Oh, wait...
