Alcohol and australians

The government go in and take alcohol out of indigenous communities where they think it is a problem...why not take it out of all communities...just in my family alone there is alcohol abuse that have ruined relations and kids...and I would not be the only Australian who says this...Shouldn't we be willing to give up all alcolol for all the families in Australia and just not have it...or at the very least label every bottle with a warning like the cigarette packets..it's not just indigenous families that suffer....it's most of Australia! Unfortunately I grew up thinking alcohol was relaxing, cool, and connected it to a sensational time...and I started heavily drinking at 14 years of age...I am now 37 and look to see that idea is just thriving on our youth! We all aspire to be alcoholics in Australia, and we are role modelling this to our children. Nothing is changing...Something should be done about this...but money is much more important than health! 18  out of 20 found this valuable. Do you?
