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.

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 . . .

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

If these idiots ever get their complete agenda (Prohibition redux) enacted, then I'm leaving the country. The sad truth is (with the Commerce Clause precedents) that it probably won't take a Constitutional amendment to make it happen this time.
WOD supporters: reap the whirlwind.
