We could always fire up some good ole' prohibition again and see how it goes, it was so wildly popular the last time.
Oh wait, we do have a prohibition in this country right now. It's real popular too and just about as successful as the first time around.
Oh, we've tied that from 1916-1924. didn't work too well.
Thanks for clicking.

Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's right. Just because something is illegal, doesn't mean it's wrong.

Probably the same reason it's not working this time around either. 
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. It is simply too painful to acknowledge even to ourselves that we've been so credulous. -Carl Sagan

It can't. Sorry to say it, as it doesn't reflect too brilliantly on myself, either, but alcohol doesn't change people, it removes inhibition. In other words: it can bring facets of our personalities to the surface that we normally suppress.
