Well ethanol in the right doses actually makes you cool - introverts do need couple of beers to get in touch with their social daredevil. Also alcohol is tasty.

  And that is exactly the sort of picture that we should as society to aim to destroy. It might take a generation or two. But I believe with hard work we could get there.

    Why do you have this particular crusade against alcohol? If you're wanting to curb ingestion of things that cause harm to the human body, sugar is a far bigger killer in the western world than booze.

      Because I hate hypocrisy. Either ban nothing or ban it all. Not this stupid in between. Either prohibition works perfectly and we can also ban ethanol, or it does not work at all and we should just go ahead and legalize everything and treat everything equally.

        I am of the opinion that legalization is one of the steps needed to really solve the drug problem. I think it's not the only one because it only truly solves certain parts of the issue, on the harm reduction front. Just having public health facilities available for users doesn't do anything either if they're not going to them. Extended, proactive, pervasive engagement with those users in a way that helps them climb out of the hole they've ended up in is also key.
