[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 5722724, member: 44954"] Because I live in a reality where the entire course of human history was shaped by alcohol. People literally wouldn't have survived without being able to store nutrients in beer. It was safer than water due to lack of purification techniques. It's use medicinally and as an antiseptic was essential to the development of modern medicine. It is deeply engrained in almost every culture because of those things. You can't just rip it out at this point. What you're asking me is to imagine a hypothetical imaginary timeline where humans didn't discover alcohol and achieved all those things by other means. If alcohol were discovered today, and we immediately knew the negative effects and the scourge it is on families and society as a whole, you would want it to be legal? No rational person would.
