Well, we can see how well prohibition worked when it came to controlling liquor. Just do some checking and read about the rise to power of organized crime, Al Capone and the like, on the sales/dealing of illegal alcohol. Making a product illegal doesn't really work, never has, never will.
The amount of alcohol related deaths is more than twice the amount of people killed by guns (including suicide, murder, and accidental) every year. Don't get me wrong I love my beer (as my name implies), but the fact is alcohol kills way more people per capita being legal than it did when it was illegal.
