Stand Up For Your Right!

I'm gonna make a stand. I know I do it all the time, but this time it's political. (Usually I stay away from politics, because it's doesn't interest me much if I can't make parallels to event throughout the history.)
The Swedish goverment wants to control how much the Swedish population drink. Apparently "A whole country is drinking itself to death". I like the thought, it's cute that the goverment cares so much for its people that it want to keep them from dying. Of course... this suggestion, made by said goverment, only applies to the amounts of alcohol one is allowed to take into Sweden. You see, Sweden is built by a bunch of hypocrits - do this because we tell you and then we'll do it the other way anyway. To clarify: we have a governmental controlled company that sells alcohol. If any other company sells it, it's a violation against the law.
Now, this suggestion doesn't mention anything about the amount of alcohol one is allowed to purchase at the "System Company". (That's actually the name. Systembolaget = the System Company.) Because if it did, that'd mean less money in governmental pockets and we wouldn't want that now, would we?

I personally think everyone should be able to do and say what they want. If people wanna drink themselves to death - go ahead. It's their lives, not mine. And since alcohol is allowed - I think we should allow drugs aswell. The difference is that alcohol kills slower than drugs, but studies have clearly shown that it kills in the end. So does smoking and that's allowed. Sure, they put up "No Smoking"-signs and sure they have "No Smoking"-sections, but it's still allowed. People will wrinkle their noses at smokers, but they won't call the police because you own a pack of cigarettes.

So who am I to say that the goverment should but out of people's lives? Well, let's just say I've seen what smoking and drinking does to people and restrictions are useless. There are always ways to find what one wants anyway.
