The "Gin is Sin" crowd in back. Beer/ale, tea, and coffee were pushed as alternatives to distillates. How about we call Mr. Cooper's substitute "Soma" in honor of the gov't sponsored drug from "Brave New World". If you are a Star Trek there is the infamous synthol the Montgomery Scott rejected.

alcoholic beverages have been part of human life from the earliest of days. The problem lies, not in the drink, but in the person and his gluttony, and his inability to control himself.

I’m thinking about something called “water”. It’s healthy when consumed in moderation, cheap, plentiful, and only moderately intoxicating, though it is somewhat habituating. The only downside I can see is if someone figures out how to abuse “water”, then the government will outlaw “water”.

How about research into a drug that would counter the effects of alcohol in minutes?

Beer, ale, tea and coffee were the only trusted sources of potable water until about the last 25 years or so of the 19th century. And once the natural benefits of caffeine were applied to industry coffee and tea (and somewhat later, soft drinks like Coca Cola) were the only acceptable forms of workplace beverages. It was the busybody temperance women that gave us the fiasco that was prohibition.

Western man has done pretty well using alcohol for thousands of years, during the same time they rejected Cannabis as an intoxicant.
Look at the peoples of the world that largely have done the opposite.
