Outlawing alcohol won't solve the problem. What you need is a well-funded long-term education program targeting young people like the anti-smoking campaigns have. Those have proven to be overall successful strategies, getting more and more young people to not even start smoking as they view it as a disgusting habit (which it is, from a former two pack a day smoker).
Studies show that fewer and fewer young people are picking up cigarettes these days. Even "vaping" is slowly disappearing amongst young people. Long-term campaigns work.

To Palmerston’s defense it used to be an educated area. I guess the heavy metals got to some.

Because you are an intelligent and reasonable person.
I used to be Republican because like a lot of us, that's what people around me were. I came a voting age at the end of Reagan's administration. So I voted for Bush senior.
Fast forward to the next election, I was in college and Bill Clinton came and spoke. I was interested, so I went. He sat there and actually talked to us, he answered questions. I didn't necessarily agree with everything he said, but he made me feel like if he got into office my future would be better. After that, I immediately switch my voter registration to independent, and it's been there ever since.
Forward a few more years, and I remember a few times where I actually left a job and had a better paying one the very next day. Meanwhile, Republicans were wasting my tax money with their bullshit Whitewater investigation that led to us hearing about a bj. Nothing but a bunch of clowns.
I've said it before, I say it now, and it holds true. If all you do is vote for someone based on party affiliation, you are nothing more than a slave.

Sure, but it's literally the easiest no brainer you could do which would free up prisons and boost the economy. Why not do something that most people wants real quick? What, you think folks can't have more than one policy occupy their mind at one time?

It’s Trump aftermath. The current Republican Party is so lost thinking they understand the population. They don’t understand the voter base. Source I am a registered republican. Fuck the current GOP.

Eh, not every state works the same as the federal government (2 legislative houses).
