Contrary to claims made in the recent 'NZ banning cigarettes to new "of age" smokers', alcohol is not the scourge of humanity. While it is responsible for the actions of some, many people enjoy it responsibly. Try travelling outside of North America and you will see that it can be sold in any old corner store, and yet somehow, there aren't drunken a-holes beating their wives and crashing their cars into innocent victims every two blocks.
I know it is very difficult for some to comprehend, but it's true.
