i don't support this idea at all. banning alcohol will not solve a problem that is essentially a problem of 'not knowing when to stop'. most liquor, consumed in moderation, has a neutral or beneficial effect and stimulates conversation. it is precisely because a bunch of hypocrites has decreed that ALL liquor is bad, that we have shady bars and hooch adda's where people end up drinking in excess.
i had my first drink when i was eleven (that's not counting wine at communion) and can proudly say that despite that seemingly sinful start, i'm not an alcoholic and there hasn't been a single occassion when i've lost control of my senses or done anything i would not have done while sober.
essentially what i'm saying is, don't blame the drink, blame the person who drinks it for the consequences.
