    Bible is the Word of God. Jesus is God manifested in human flesh. You sound like you believe Jesus was merely a prophet? Jesus quoted Old Testament MANY times.

    Of course modern Bible versions are all corrupt and altered, the only Bible that can be trusted is 1611 King James Bible.

    I think humans have a natural tendency to overdo it, which will lead them to naturally misuse alcohol, and the only way to curb this lower instinct is to cleanse and purify themselves from the most part from the drink. That said not everyone is going to act that way, and there are also some positive things to drinking in terms of health. There was a prohibition of alcohol in the U.S., and it did not work out that well, which led to the Temperance movement becoming more popular.


    There were people like Cary Nation who would pick up axes and then go into shops, bars, and businesses shattering their supply of alcohol. I just don't think this is an adequate to go about it, and just because alcohol does cause evil things does not mean it does not do positive thing as well. Most things with a positive element to it is going to have the potential of being misused and turned into an evil affair.

    I believe that it should be sold only during certain hours of the day, and that it should not be served to a person unless they are guaranteed to have an individual who will not be drinking driving them home. That said the sell of alcohol does a great deal of business for certain enterprises, and thus it should not be outlawed, because there would be a great loss in what some business enterprises base their sales and consumerism off of.

    I think my main point is that bad and stupid people will do bad and stupid things regardless of if they drink or not. Shouldn´t we make cars illegal too?
    We can´t outlaw something just because some people don´t know how to use it. All of the things you listed are because of alcohol abuse.

    Make alcohol illegal and automatically that would reduce abuse rate (alcoholics would be arrested). Also, why would you drink alcohol in the first place? What is the point?

    No, more like alcoholics would be forced to drink in secret and this would further fuel the unhealthiness of their addiction.

    This is a GOOD thing. It's about public safety not alcoholic's health.

    So, in reality you don´t even care about prohibiting alcohol and and improving people´s quality of life at all, you just want a sham.
    You know people will continue to drink in secret (both alcoholics and social drinkers), you just want a moralistic, hypocritical society where people pretend to be good and virtuous.

    The alcoholic would drink regardless if it's legal or illegal. If it's legal he's still digging his own grave. If it's illegal at least the public don't have to deal with it.

    So you prefer to sweep things under the carpet and ignore them rather than deal with the problems? If people are going to drink any way, why make it illegal? What´s the point? Just a big waste of time, money and jail space.

    And so will social and moderate drinkers who value their freedom. You would turn good, honest people into criminals?
