    That’s the logical argument, but that’s not why we have liquor laws. Think way back when, it started with religious anti-drinking. Think prohibition, that was all rooted in religion. But when prohibition failed they had to settle on strict control.

    Funny thing now is that as the right loses its “real” religion and becomes “gubment bad” they want looser liquor laws, and now its the left that wants the logical liquor control. But the current laws still came around from way back when.

    The reason for gambling laws was to keep the money out of gangs.
