Man, I'd choose the liquor!

Well, it's a worthy sentiment, but judging from the photo, I doubt they had many takers anyway. Yikes!

[freedomcrusader]

LOL! No problem. You ladies just go ahead and keep your lips to yourselves. Snicker :-)

[Stew Padasso]

There is no amount of alcohol to make those ladies approachable.

Moore argued that the criminalization of alcohol was effective in reducing alcohol-related problems.

Here is one of your prime examples of "it's a matter of definitions".

On the basis that alcohol consumption and bar brawls may have gone down... Prohibition was a success. But only if you overlook Al Capone's gangland masacres, corruption, death and sickness from bathtub gin, and bribery.

If anything, you would think it's women who look like that who would be encouraging as much drinking as possible. Forget the beer goggles, those women need PGA goggles.

If you liked the War on Drugs, you are gonna LOVE the War on Booze.

absolutely Prohibition was a success,
look what it got us the Kennedy's,organized crime,
police corruption, disease, sickness and death from bad booze
Politicians on the take, a gov't sink hole for our tax dollars

sounds just like our current prohibition, war on drugs.

kinda makes you go, hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

So whats the big deal? This is how the anti-smoking league/lobby got started, no one minded then.

Smokers have been taxed, over-taxed, and taxed again, and then demonized (in the name of the "widdle childwen)...it's about time the government started pickin' on the alcohaulics as well!

I mean, surely everyone who drinks is an alcoholic right? Everyone who drinks causes accidents right? Kind of like every smoker kills children with second hand smoke, right?

Pure sarcasm, yes. BUT I still get a kick out of watching others see how it feels . . .

Americans haven't had a "serious, science-based examination" of ANY topic since before I was born.

Personally, I'm trying a new fangled approach to keeping my teen from drinking. I call it parenting.

I'd say that is would take a WHOLE Bunch of liquor before anyone would consider touching their lips to those shrews.
