Opinions - Alcohol: Why is it not illegal?

[EyeCeyE]

Countless studies, multiple handfuls of data, oodles of research, hepatology data studies, and the common man is aware one of the most, dare i say, THE most dangerous drug to mankind is alcohol.
~The government are about to change the classification of Cannabis back to a class B drug because of its 'damaging effects and harmful symptomatology~
How much data is needed for them (the powers that be) to begin to look at the 'damaging effects and harmful symptomatology' of ethanol/alcohol/ETOH and put a classification on it?!?!?!?!

How much of the Health of the Nation criteria has been deliberately ignored just to fund the economy. All this damage; young binge drinkers, more hospital admissions than ever, and all this just for profit for the fat cat multi nationals to have exaggerated bonuses at the end of the tax year.

I know prohibition never worked but that does not mean we can turn a blind eye to the facts forever. Restriction is needed, not 'Drink responsibly' bullshit.

Increasing costs of alcohol is done purely to boost the economy and for the defecit from the closure of public houses in the uk. NOT to do with reducing binge drinking.

The government took 4 years to plow enough money into making cigarettes the work of satan and ban it everywhere, and soon it will be illegal to smoke out in the street. The government can do the same with alcohol, and significantly reduce its consumption before its too late.

Thats my rant, I hope you can contribute to the debate further
