I know that they tried to ban alcohol during the prohibition, and the reasons why they don't. I was just trying to make a point that if they are saying that antidepressants cause crime and violence and depression, alcohol does so even more, and it is more readily available to people. The reasons for banning antidepressants are invalid. So many people are already depressed and suffering, and they self medicate with alcohol. I have seen it many times with my family and friends. If they had taken antidepressants with doctor supervision, they most likely wouldn't have become alcoholics.
