ADNAN I am not arguing that alcohol should be banned, but doesn't the government also prohibit pot and other drugs? Is that "oppressive and intrusive extension of government authority into the individual's private affairs"? Yeah it is for some of us. What it boils down to how liberal, moderate or conservative one is in these matters. We vote accordingly. GCC
