Never happen, just as pols will never try to ban cigarettes. For the Fed and the states, alcohol and tobacco are cash cows. The only thing stats like the one you cited do is give them an excuse to tax the products even more.

Bad Premise.

1 out of every 10 Americans do not binge drink. There’s a world outside your bar.

That’s about as likely as the much-discussed ban on contraception.

There are far more pressing issues, my FRiend.

How do you know 38 million Americans are involved in binge drinking?

You stated it as if it is a fact.

Can you back up your claim?

All they need to do is repeal Obamacare. And Obama too.

There then would be no reason to binge drink.

I just looked up where you got your 38 million figure. The CDC. This is their formula for binge drinking:

The CDC estimates that 38 million US adults binge drink. That means one in six people drink at least four or five alcoholic drinks on a single occasion.

4 or 5 drinks is now a binge? Like hell. 4 or 5 drinks is just a base before the real drinking starts.

I now live in Kentucky. We have a lot of dry counties. One by one, they are all going wet.

No need. We have transcended the need to deal with ammendments or the constitution in general. Between the commerce clause abuse and the socialist medicine, all control resides in the fed.
