I took banning alcohol to mean lowering driving BAC to 0%, not banning alcohol society-wide.

It would be a lot easier for drivers to have the following thought process: "I drank tonight, I can't drive home" rather than "I drank two beers over the period of 3 hours, am I good? Yeah, probably, let's gooo."

If you react that strongly and violently to the idea of alcohol being banned, you might want to look into your relationship with alcohol.

I barely drink, but the previous attempt to ban it was terrible for society. I totally understand their thinking on this.
