| Message | Alcohol causes a lot of health problems! From stomachic ulcer and problems in the liver to neurological damage - and this thing is addictive! The losses on cognitive funcion and emotional control caused by ethanol can harm not only the user, but their family, friends, partners, neighbors and even stranges which don't have any relation with the drinker. We agree that prohibition doesn't work, and, as history says, it leads to a rampant increase on crime. But regulation and prohibition are different things. - Party President Caroline Hellekin |
