I have a theory that every time someone brings up the fact that alcohol is dangerous, considering it is legal, someone will retort sarcasticaly about the prohibition. I also have a theory that this isn't the 1920s, and no one here is suggesting a prohibition. It's no secret that alcohol consumption DROPPED DRASTICLY during the prohibition. Althought bootleggers and gangsters were able to beat the authorities regularly, it was not the complete failure most people paint it to be.
Everything else I basically agree with, though the tone was a bit unplesant.
