The US military has tried prohibition a bunch of times with mixed, generally poor, results. The worst result is when, in their quest for alcohol, the personnel obtain wood alcohol, methanol, which often causes blindness and death.

To make matters worse, methanol has a large number of military uses, so it is available.

I speak more of having a strong anti drug abuse policy for the whole nation.

A nation of addicts cant defend itself.

I do not speak of prohibition of alcohol. Just drunkenness and addiction.
