No Alcohol

What if the invention of alcohol had never been discovered. The world would be an entirely different place! The beer industry is one of the largest industries in America, and probably one of the largest in the rest of the world as well. Without that, the economy would be severely damaged. Millions of people would lose jobs and our economy would be in worse condition than it already is. However, the positives to an alcohol free world would be countless. First off, there would be no people killed in alcohol related car crashes, which are the number one killer in motor vehicle wrecks today. No one would be abused due to an alcoholic dad or loved one. Numerous families would be so much closer. There would be less date rape as well. Alcohol would not be the result of deaths due to too much drinking, because it would not exist. Many people would choose an alternative though. A lot more people would fall to marijuana and other more hardcore drugs. These are worse than alcohol. I think the positives would definitely outweigh the negatives, but alcohol is not bad for good mingling purposes at parties and things like that. I am pretty indifferent toward the subject just thought I would explore it.
