'What if we were to eradicate alcohol from the planet, other than for non-drinking purposes? How many issues and crises and dire circumstances would be prevented if we did? Of course, without alcohol we would need to address the underlying issues driving us to drink, but the world would be much healthier if we learned to live without needing to resort to a chemical to alter us in order to take the edge off life.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
