I still like to drink, but mostly wine and an occasional beer. I learned quickly enough that drinking. Too bad that hasn't become general knowledge. Reason won't do much to change that sort of behavior. I believe that wine and possibly beer should be separated from high alcohol content beverages.
Wine is more a food than distilled spirits are, and deserves to be treated as such.
I don't think that argument can be supported. After all, all forms of beverage alcohol are distilled from food crops. What is bad, is the missuse, or overuse of alcohol. Abuse and the associated behaviors which lead to it are the problems. It's just that alcohol is something which is especially likely to produce problems for those who use it.
