They should make cars with a breathalizer so it wont start when your drunk. Simple solution.

[simpleearthling]

@Bastige56 or legalise drink driving and fuck them pedestrians ,,the car industry would be in far better shape because we would have to keep replacing all the wrecks ,construction would be booming due to all the hospitals and morgues required and the breweries would be able to employ more people ,,you could go fill up your car and have a separate tank for booze

"Happy days are here again" ROFL I wonder what over zealous college students would have done today during spring break without alcohol.

Alcohol is great. It lowers our population problem by killing people on the road. It helps to break up families so we can live as liberated individuals. It destroys our good health so we can keep our health care providers rolling in money. It's so great that we should not stop at having wiskey comercials on the TV but should introduce it to our schools in vending machines. Even children should be free to destroy themselves any way they want. Have your day of fun. I will live without it. tbttl

[sweetness111983]

how do you jum to the children...its called an ID

[dawahaddict]

Well said. Alcohol was already prohibited by God. It's time the people got onboard.

[simpleearthling]

@dawahaddict fuck god he,s a crazy old bastard ,,i thought it was an apple we were not supposed to eat now he wants to take everything away like a spoilt fucking child

[DynamicUnreality]

@raymond52044 Oh you are so right, because we are all alcoholics who drink and drive and kill our livers, just because we have the freedom to drink. Go remove the splinter from your own eye first, then get back with me. Thanks. And if you want to prohibit alcohol and drugs? Go live in Saudi Arabia. I live in America.

[polopnol]

if alchol and cigarettes are illegal, then so should marijuana! millions die every year from accidents and illnesses connected to them. Not many die from marijuana

[kayleeusa]

Prohibition has been tried numerous times - and it has always been a failed policy - Once you could be beheaded for coffee in Russia. What happened? The use of coffee went up. Prohibition does not work. Doesn't it make you wonder why we would use a historically failed policy in our 'enlightened' country?

[gimpergirl]

Perhaps this should serve as a wake-up call of sorts -- that the time has now come to legalize marijuana, & tax it like alcohol. Just think how much this would help our economy. Seriously.

[SalmataGirl]

yeah! and cigarettes are more dangerous than marajauna. why aren't cigarettes illegal? lol

[MDThomas01]

"To drink or not to drink?"

What a collectivist lie. The question was, "Do we jail people and destroy their property, because they manufacture, buy or consume alcohol?" Look at the pictures--are those people using axes against their own property and spilling it down the drain? No wonder it tore America apart for decades.

[MondoBeno]

The Women's Temperance Union had a reason for wanting to ban alcohol.

Women were not allowed to smoke or drink. Men drank brandy after dinner, but it was strictly off-limits to women (unless they were "low"). Women were not allowed to go into bars unless they were prostitutes.

But a man could drink, and gin was the "crack" of the time. If a man drank his money, his family could starve. Divorce was impossible, and there was no way to force a man to pay "child support."

Thank god for FDR. I'm a republican but I would have voted for him in a heart beat if I lived back then.

[netimp]

Maybe FDR did it so everybody'd be too drunk to notice his plans to confiscate our gold and turn America into a welfare state.

[ActionModeJesus]

only good thing FDR did.

[DevSodDribble]

Hooray! Beer! :D

[consumes]

happy days !
