I think to ban drinking alcohol completely is a little extreme as, you did mention it, there are people who do drink but not in excess. You have mainly concentrated on binge drinking, which yes is dangerous for your health as an over dose of alcohol can kill you. However, I don't think there is anything wrong with having a glass of wine with a meal or having a few pints in a pub with a group of friends. Most adults when they do drink use it to relax, having a glass of wine while watching TV, go for a drink down the pub after work or have a drink with a meal.
"The very acceptance of being allowed to consume alcohol, regardless of the amount, quite simply leads to many problems", I'm sorry but I don't think I agree with that. I think that the majority of the country are not alcoholics and can control their drinking, so when they have a few drinks, or even more than a few, they do not behave badly.
My opinion on drinking alcohol is that the Government should educate young people so that they know that it is not necessarily alcohol which is bad for you; it is the amount that you drink and how you drink it. ""It doesn't make a difference if you're drinking every day or once a fortnight, exceeding the recommended guidelines is risky," says Dr Michael Wilks. "Saving up your weekly units so you can drink them all on a Friday night is not the way to interpret the Department of Health's advice.""
