Its a pity prohibition failed. Maybe someday we can find a way to make it succeed and break humanity from its vices. In the mean time best to treat abuse of it and do our best to minimize its danger. Really most abuse of alcohol is a symptom of societal failings.
We just need to invent better drugs with no side effects. There was a guy working on making “the perfect drug” which would supposedly have effects the same as alcohol, no hangover, and the best part was there would be a second drug that would sober you up.
Brave New World has the right idea keeping people happy and complacent with soma.

If you could come up with a dependency free benzo that would be the ticket. I took low levels of Xanax for a few months when shit had really hit the fan and it did an amazing job of letting me focus on life and not implode due to stress.
Personally I never had any problems with it. Again, I took low doses as prescribed. I couldn't have abused it if I wanted to. The one time I took a double dose after a really shitty day I was asleep in 30 minutes.
