Even more ridiculous is that last I've heard, there is still alcohol being consumed in muslim countries.
I am firmly opposed to prohibition. As many have pointed out, it just doesn't work. Regulation and taxation, sure. And definitely anyone who is considering quitting should be encouraged and supported. No matter what else, support systems for those addicted (and victims of abusers) should be in place.

But prohibition did not, and will not, work.
