Many crimes are related to the consumption of alcohol. Some people think that the best way to reduce the crime rate is to ban alcohol. Do you think this is an effective measure against crime? What other solutions can you suggest?

Numerous people commit crimes under the

influence

of

alcohol

. Some people are of the opinion that the ban of

alcohol

is the most effective method to bring down the crime rate. I strongly believe that the ban of

alcohol

would not bring about a major difference to the crime rate. It has been reported several times that people behave in an unacceptable manner after the consumption of booze.

This

includes violence, social misconduct, rash driving and so on.

However

, crimes are

also

committed by people who are not under the

influence

of

alcohol

.

Therefore

, putting a ban on liquor would not ensure in any way that citizens will always act in a mannerly conduct. In my opinion, the best means to handle

this

dilemma would be by making laws about the consumption of

alcohol

more stringent.

For instance

, there should be a limit in the consumption of

alcohol

for different age groups. Adding to that, people while drinking

alcohol

should be accompanied by someone who will remain sober.

This

will in turn drastically bring down the cases of road accidents as there are a lot of reported cases where people are involved in

such

incidences due to driving under the

influence

of

alcohol

. Another course to curb its consequences would be by educating people on the ill effects of consuming too much

alcohol

.

This

awareness would

also

help people understand how it alters their health.

Thus

, killing two birds with one stone. To sum up,

alcohol

isn’t the core reason for the crimes that are committed.

Although

it does seem to be the

influence

of some of them. Since banning it wouldn’t help the situation much, making sure that citizens consume it more responsibly would go a long way.
