Well Jason,
If you are not including the earliest uses of alcohol (making water potable, anesthesia in surgery, disinfecting wounds, preserving food) and you are only referring to alcohols bad rap, then I would have to say;
1). We would probably be a little more uptight.
2). Murders / Suicides / Rapes would be much lower.
3). Ugly people would probably never get laid.
4). Good looking people would be lousier lays.
5). Smokers would take A LOT more heat, (Driving while smoking… Hey, someones got to pay those fines!).
6). We would have “Milk Bars” and milk would be taxed up the yin-yang.
7). We would have to blame ourselves for our children’s failures!
AND LASTLY, Yes, we would still have wars. You said no Alcohol, you didn’t say “No Male Testosterone!”
Love and smoochies!

Hey Spike,
The American Medical Association and the Surgeon General have stated that they feel that no more than two drinks a day is beneficial. Red wine is supposed to be the most beneficial due to the anti-oxidants (however, they don’t mention the sulfites, which are supposed to be harmful to everyone). Beer is supposed to be the next best alcohol you can drink.
Remember, women who are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant should never have alcohol.
That being said, the former actor, singer and vaudevillian, George Burns used to have two glasses of scotch and two cigars per day and he lived to 99! So, I guess, everything in moderation!
