The Ontario Public Health Association ... cites multiple studies showing that increases in the number of places where alcohol can be bought in Ontario, and in other jurisdictions, have already led to more consumption and more of the harms that come with it, such as suicides, drunk driving, emergency-room visits and higher rates of cancer.

I enjoy booze, but I like that it's hard to get. I don't need any more encouragement to mess up my liver.

This means we'd actually have to make our justice system actually punish drunk and careless driving. The best way to commit murder in Canada is with a car, you will get out in a couple of years!

Punishment doesn't work. It just makes you feel better.

Drunk drivers don't need punishment afterward, they need peer pressure before.
