Wouldn't it be better to take the alcohol away?

		Steelman the argument. They didn't say take it away from everyone, they were responding to the idea of taking away cars from alcoholics. We absolutely can take away alcohol from people who are convicted of DUI, as a condition of their release from prison. We do it already in a few places across the US, and it reduces recidivism quite a lot.

We tried that once. It caused a lot of other problems.

		Nobody suggested banning alcohol altogether.

LOL, exactly! The underlying problem is people's addiction to drugs, not all the symptoms that come from those addictions.
