Prohibition did not work in the 1920's and it won't work now. We already have too many restrictions from the government and more oversight is ridiculous. You banned cigarette ads and smoking rates increased due to the use of cigarettes in motion pictures made glamorous by actors and no doubt funded by tobacco. Alcohol will be the same. The amount of money spent enforcing restrictive laws is outrageous. If you want to do something productive, start removing laws. SOwen </body> </HTML>
