[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need it, no. Enjoy it on occasion because some alcoholic drinks taste good, absolutely. Almost all things are alright in moderation/if used appropriately, and, when legal and permitted, I consider alcohol to fall into this category.

There are a great many things (I would argue most things) that can cause societal ills if abused or used irresponsibly. But for the most part I don't believe in banning them just for that reason.

Example: I do not like sports. At all. Never have, never will, don't see the point. I could argue that sports cause problems -- riots when the home team loses, sometimes riots when the home team [i] wins [/i], people wasting their money, people wasting their time, national priorities out of whack, etc. But, I will not argue this. Because most people who like sports are reasonable people who don't end up in an obsession that controls their life, and also because just because I/you/we don't like something doesn't automatically mean it's wrong, bad, and nobody should like it.

I can't address this because to equate riots associated with a few sports games to the horrific, pervasive problems from alcohol is just too stupid.[/quote]
