That makes sense. The alcohol industry won't like it one little bit, which is a factor in its favour.
Of all the drugs we could have legalised, alcohol has to be one of the worst.

I think its past time for an overhaul of all our drug laws, & we could do far worse than to emulate Portugal which decriminalised over a decade ago & now has a far lesser problem with an extremely low death rate from overdose, having sensible decided to treat drug use as a health issue.
