"So should alcohol be banned?"

To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

What's with you and banning? Why should banning apply to all drugs?

Drugs used in chemotherapy are certainly more dangerous than alcohol -- they're not banned. Should we ban them, Mr. Carpenter?

We tried banning alcohol once. That didn't work. Only the insane would propose the same solution and expect a different result. Are you insane, Mr. Carpenter?

I don't think it should apply to any. (Did you really not know that?)

That's what makes your support for banning drugs other than alcohol so insane.

We're trying to ban various other drugs now. In case you didn't notice it, this ban isn't working either.
