I am not a prohibitionist but I am doing my best to educate kids about not drinking.
I an from family of alcoholics.My mother died on May 30,2007 because of complication of liver disease.She was a wonderful person.She also was a lifetime alcoholic.She tried to stop but she couldn't.Every generation in my family is affected.I happen to believe that alcoholism is a disease not a character problem.
I don't drink any alcohol since my son was born 14 years ago because I don't want him to go through what I had to.
I had seen kids with fetal alcohol syndrome,I took care of kids in ICU who were hit by a drunken driver.I went on recovery of organs of people who were killed in alcohol related incident.
I am not again against responsible drinking(I even fix my wife one).But I am against beer advertisement that target kids,against misleading studies funded by alcohol industry.
I do not want to impose my views on anybody.All I am doing is my personal best.
So let me have this opinion.If you can drink responsibly that is fine....but there are people who can't....

P.S. And by the way....The water down stuff that made Mrs McCain rich is a fake....The only original "Budweiser" is from city of Ceske Budejovice(BUDWEIS in German).
