Yes, I would support a ban on alcohol. I think it would be harder to ban alcohol than tobacco, but I would support it. I never drink alcohol myself. I think those who are caught drinking and driving should have a custodial sentence. I don't go to many social events, but guaranteed that at any one I do go to, there will be those there who consume alcohol and drive later, thinking they are okay.
Alcohol causes tremedous suffering to individuals and families of alcoholics. If people consumed alcohol and tobacco responsibly i.e. didn't smoke in the presence of others, then I think it is freedom of choice, but people don't. Consequently, innocent people suffer from the actions of smokers and drinkers.
In this country, babies and children are frequently admitted to hospital because of inhaling their parents smoke. Those who smoke around their children are irresponsible parents.
Passive smoking kills. I only have to be in the room for 5 minutes with cigarette smoke and I feel sick. My eyes burn and my throat gets very dry.
I would personally be very happy if both cigarettes and alcohol would be banned as a lot of people are not responsible with either, and if people can't be responsible and innocent people are killed directly or indirectly as a result of their irresponsibility, then they should be denied access to the substances.
Just my opinion, sorry if it offends smokers and drinkers.
