Is Australia moving towards alcohol prohibition? We've seen the positive effects (or perhaps the reversal of negative effects) in rural Aboriginal communities, so how long before the booze ban hits urban centres as well? There are probably some places that could benefit right now, if their alcohol-fuelled car accident and violence rates are high.
I don't imagine it would go down well at first, especially with so many people addicted, so perhaps what we're looking for is a kind of enforced moderation. It won't keep the die-hard alcoholics from drinking, because they'll find a way around it, but it should push back the border a little, reducing accidents and hospital admissions.

PS - I don't think it's coming soon.
PPS - There would be many more years to go before we get to that point.
