Soaring stock market. Check.
Calls to outlaw booze. Check.

I have a better idea. Let’s stop giving government grants to “scientists.”
Ban cars! Mass transit and bikes for everyone!
Prohibitionists never go away, they just change targets for a while. It's a mindset. It's antithetical to freedom, but it's persistent.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. ― C.S. Lewis
Take you a glass of water Make it against the law. See how good the water tastes When you can't have any at all.
These people are insane. It’s all about power and control. This kind of thing cannot be implemented without nazi-like tactics, which is what these people want.
We didn’t elect them to become the nazi gestapo.
Fixed...
All it would take would be congress amending the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and its over. THe CSA of 1970 exempted alcohol and tobacco from the definition of controlled substances... Tobacco and alcohol are exempted from drug scheduling, despite their detrimental impacts on individual health and society as a whole, due solely to economic reasons. No constitutional amendment needed.
That's about the same as saying "no Constitution needed", if Rights can be redefined away by bureaucratic shenanigans...
National Academies of Sciences needs to be disbanded. They are nothing more than nanny state leftists.
I’m sure these same bozos are perfectly fine with legalizing pot and other drugs. Nevermind the consequences.
Ban illegal immigrants. It’s a part of their culture and police don’t want to deal with foreign nationals who are in the country illegal so they cut them loose from DUI arrests.
10,000 alcohol related deaths?
i think that number is low...
if you consider the number of one night stands and resultant abortions...
Why don’t these “scientists” want to prevent the deaths caused by people talking or texting on cellphones?

LOL!!
Sweden has a 0.01 BAC standard. The push is on to take the US’s standard down to 0.05 and push it even lower to 0.03.
The woman who founded MADD was upset that repeat offenders were getting a slap on the wrist. Decades ago she left MADD when she saw it was being used for a neoprohibition movement which was never her goal.
She later lobbied on behalf of bars and alcohol producers.
We’ve already tried prohibition, it didn’t work out so well.
Well, the BOOZE RUNNERS made a big profit.
Big word that “if”....plus addiction being what it is...someone will find a way to defeat system...i heard that making offenders attend and watch an autopsy of dead drunk driver worked very well...same technique might be useful to curb morbid obesity...smoking...sexual disease transmission...rat racing car drivers...texting idiots...
Lol
