Pretty sure that alcohol and gambling are fairly global vices...

  Yeah but the extremely hypocritical view on alcohol and gambling in the US (IIRC it's legal in some states to drive a full blown semi truck at 20 while beer drinking age is 21 - and gambling... well Vegas and the Native reservations, but that's it, contrasted to the crackdowns on fully foreign online gambling venues and even their banks, even if they don't do US business!) warrant a separate mention IMO.

    What view on alcohol and gambling? Who is being hypocritical? There's a huge range of views on both subjects, and no single view is going to be used as canon between the many various human organizations that shape public opinion and the institutions that enact laws and regulation. You're basically personifying a collective of individuals. There is no single 'view' on alcohol and gambling. You're just cherry picking the view of the moral right and calling it hypocritical as if it's the official view of the US.

    I'd add it to the list if I understood your position better. To my knowledge the US isn't in the business of foisting gambling products or services on other countries, even if it is highly regulated domestically.
