With that said, I dislike people who drink only for the purpose of getting drunk. To me, that's drinking with the intent of harming yourself, because getting drunk is just another way of saying that the high levels of toxin you've been drinking have now affected you to the point where one would say you've been intoxicated. Like... eating too much of wrong kind of mushrooms or snorting cocaine. Sort of.

Yes, drinking isn't always a problem. It's like those people in the South of France who have a glass of wine with their meals. They don't really get drunk and so on.
But don't you think we have a responsibility towards those who do have a problem with it? I mean, not everyone is so controlled and it is an unpredictable element. Therefore, don't you think for that reason that drinking should be prohibited?
It's like the use of mobile phones. Not everyone has an accident when they talk on the phone at the same time as driving, yet it has been banned as a whole.
