Restricted in the sense that the legal limits for purchasing alcohol should be more rigorously enforced, yes.

Restricted in the sense that `binge drinking` should be discouraged, yes.

As for outright banning - no. People have cars. Some drive them sensibly, others misuse them and cause accidents. Do we take all cars off the road? No, we seek to prevent the idiots from causing havoc by enforcing the law and ensuring that only the safe drivers are allowed to drive. Those that are antisocial in their behaviour are punished appropriately.

Alcohol or Booze in General

I am getting on a bit in years. I have had some great times under the influence. I have also had some bad times. It all comes down to who you are. Can you take it like a man, fall over and laugh, or do you look around for some innocent who you think pushed you?
Banning anything will drive it underground. Restricting it will lead to binge drinking. The laws as they are will do fine as long as they enforce them.
There is no stupider site than seeing a drunk rolling up the road or falling off the unlevel pathways.
There is no quicker way to be ripped off by anyone if they see you are blind drunk.
Drink and lets be happy. Not Drunk and deplorable.
