NewspaperArticleExcerpt: Alcohol

I have just read an amazing article by an anti-prohibitionist about the facts of alcohol. Voila:

Did You Know?: Alcohol by C. Chen
Alcohol! Alcohol! It is the water for the people everywhere, and will always be, especially during the "dry" times. Alcohol was always the best and was the most popular because it was the easiest to get.  Water is not always safe and sometimes unavailable, plus milk spoiles easily in the heat. Coffee and tea are especially hard to obtain due to the fact that they must to be imported.
Many people believe that alcohol (in moderate amounts) is a "safeguard against illnesses and a cure for others." Although, one of the consequences of being a drinker for such a popular and delicious drink is that one will get drunk. If one gets caught drinking nowadays, during the Prohibition Era, one will get punished. If one is found guilty of drunkenness, one will either get a lecture from a minister, a fine, a whipping, or be put in the stocks for the afternoon.
During this "dry" time, one would presume that it is impossible to obtain the illegal alcohol, although there has been rumors of contraband and mobs all over the place. Did you know that there are actually many ways to get alcohol? One way to obtain alcohol for "medicinal" uses is to have a doctor prescribe a prescription. Although alcohol in general is banned, medicinal alcohol is not. There are also the popular speakeasies. These are places where illegal alcohol is consumed, bought, and sold. If you happen to enter one of these places, you should be careful since some intentionally poison customers. If these poisoners are found, it is encouraged NOT to go to the police, as it is very difficult to give them a story. How would you tell them that you found a dead man in a speakeasy if you yourself were engaging in these illegal activities?
Other than just obtaining the illegal alcohol, it is possible to make it from home. There are step-by-step instructions on grape juice concentrate bottles, but technically they're about how to avoid turning the grape juice concentrate into wine. Farmers have also found a way to make whiskey and hard liquor by using their corn. The government will not interfere with our lives any longer!
