| Message | Health is much more important then the booze industry. In the long term, improving the health of our citizens is better for the economy than giving a part of the industry more freedom. Healthcare costs are lower with fewer alcohol problems. Licensed outlets are an aid to keep control over the law. |

| Message | How does licensing affect it at all? Some % of the populace will misuse alcohol, licensing or not. Im just allowing for more freedom for both buyer and seller to have access. Personal health decisions are better dealth with in the realm of education, if anywhere. |

| Message | If licensing doesn't affect it at all why are we wasting taxpayers' money to create a bill to get rid of it? |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
