Just take a look at some of the threads about smoker bans (tobacco) and then you will see that those types last VERY long on Free Republic.
show me where I ever suggest the banning of booze. The discussion is about the legality of public drunkenness. I have no problem with people going to bars and having a good time, I have trouble with them getting drunk in public. The two are not the same.
Some of them do.
Also, there are some important differences between alcohol and tobacco, though I agree that banning smoking in bars and restaurants is wrong.
