Cancer of the breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, and colon.” This means that, if you drink too much alcohol it can cause many awful diseases and even death.

Another reason alcohol should be banned is because drunk driving can cause many awful things. https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunk-driving says, “Every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that’s one person every 50 minutes. These deaths have fallen by a third in the last three decades; however, drunk-driving crashes claim more than 10,000 lives per year.” That means that over 10,000 lives per year could be saved if we ban alcohol.

Drinking alcohol can also cause our faces to look bloated and puffy. We might find that it bloats your stomach too.
