  • If an alcoholic ever abuses his family he should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch prohibition footage.

  • I can live without alchool. I can't live without freedom of choice.

  • @Hotshotter3000

    yes they could the residue in the bottles, they do that today with drugs

    if their is a needle of heroin residue left they can charge you with that.

    It happened to someone in my family residue then a drug test that

    showed heroin, 3 years for that.

  • @33guyfawkes I don't drink alcohol and I have no intentions to when I'm older (cause I'm 16 now) but I feel people should have the freedom to drink alcohol. I understand your point but a limited amount is acceptable considering it from an ethical perspective once its not over-done and has little damage on one's health or social life, it brings people happiness (which is the most important thing we want) what's a longer life worth if people don't enjoy it? that's my opinion.

  • i hate alcohol! i think it is evil and corrupting!

  • americans couldn't handle their drink lol

  • @chiechelmona oops, meant the 1900's

  • @EddyMcK PROIBITION IN THE EARLY 90'S? WTF!

  • RON PAUL will end prohibition of all drugs ending the drug wars in your naibourhoods

  • FDR put too many band aids on everything. Even when we were going through the Depression and don't forget the Dirty 30s, my Father found Alcohol, a bucket of beer wasn't too expensive. I was 3 years old when was repealed.

  • Prohibition in the early 90's = Al Capone

    Drug war 1980's = Mexican cartels
