A also agree on the ETOH policy.
I am a non-drinker, but the last thing we need is to repeat the disaster of prohibition.

Something interesting I read in an interview once about drinking:
The reporter was talking to a medical researcher who had done extensive research with ETOH;
After he had elaborated on the adverse effects, she asked a question like:
"But as long as the drinking is done at safe levels..."

At this point he interrupted with:
"There are no established safe levels!"
