I agree with the points you make about how both substances can ruin a person's life, but prohibiton will not work. If people want to drink and do drugs, they are not going to not do it because the goverment told them to. They are going to it whether it's legal or not.
Prohibition will never work. It was a failure in the 1920's and obviously still does not work in this counrty. If people want to do drink and do drugs they are going to find a way to do them. Also, they can say they are not doing drugs but actually be doing them. THere are always ways that people can around prohibition. I don't get why the country even tries. I think it is a good thing they are trying to prohibit things that have bad effects on people, but it will never work. Making alcohol and drugs illegal will make want to do it more and rebel against the rules. I think that it is good the country is trying to stop it but I don't think it will ever work becasue people will be people and go against it.
