Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Hindered by asthma since I was six weeks old, I had begun experimenting with my diet and discovered a disquieting correlation.

When I tried to sneak in a hamburger and a Coke, my body rebelled.
When we drink a cup of coffee or spoon heated chicken noodle soup or chili out of a Styrofoam cup, we are also taking in small doses of chemicals that leach from the container. Heat activates this transfer, as does oil, acids and alcohol.

There'd never been a more advantageous time to be a criminal in America than during the 13 years of Prohibition. At a stroke, the American government closed down the fifth largest industry in the United States - alcohol production - and just handed it to criminals - a pretty remarkable thing to do.
Minimum sales prices for alcohol are a startlingly bad idea. As with excise duties, the effects are regressive.
