| Message | The Government has no place dictating to our citizens when and where they can consume alcohol, we believe it will be good for the economy and good for our citizens to remove this silent apartheid. |

| Message | We're not telling our citizens when and where they can drink alcohol. Adults can buy it and drink it where ever and when ever they want to. Children should not be able to buy and consume drink. Underdeveloped livers and everything else for that matter is not able to cope with alcohol. Its just common sense, not "dictating" to our citizens. |

| Message | OOC: I may change my position, trying to set myself apart from the other libertarian parties, I'll rethink it and come up with some justification after I finish going through other parts of the game. |

| Message | OOC: I'm gonna take the "in loco parentis" stance. Don't believe in it, but I've decided to go for somewhat illibertarian ideas in certain cases to distinguish myself. |
