The addiction to alcohol is, in fact not to the related liquid people consuming, its with the state of conscious which alcohol induced.Therefore, what is important is to educate, how to induce the alcohol induced state of consciousness without depending alcohol or drugs. Authentic spirituality can be helpful to handle this situation to a great extent. Prohibition is ridiculous nonsense, it is like hiding the toys of children to stop their playing.
