Being that alcohol has no redeeming medical value and currently is estimated to kill at least 80,000 people a year in the US (http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/alcohol-use.htm), it is the moral duty of this nation to protect its citizens from this danger.
Making alcohol illegal will reduce crime and curtail consumption, as was very well demonstrated by the addition of the 18th Amendment to the United States constitution.
In order to protect our children from this danger it is imperative that we act quickly to stop this menace from doing any more damage.
