Do you think alcohol moderation by the government is stupid?

Question

For america it is..

Moderation is often described in the US as two drinks a day for a man and one drink a day for a women. These drinks can't be "saved" over time and then drunk in one day. A drink is:

* a 12-ounce bottle or can of regular beer
* a five-ounce glass of dinner wine
* a shot of liquor or spirits (either straight or in a mixed drink)

and Australia it is..

Men: No more then 4 standard drinks on average and no more then 6 standard drinks on any one day. One or two alcohol free days per week.

Women: No more then 2 standard drinks a day on average and no more then 4 standard drinks on any one day. One or two alcohol free days per week.

I drunk 16 standard drinks in one night and after 13-14 i started to feel the effects of alcohol (i have witnesses to prove this).. probably because i had been drinking a lot of water at least 2 litres a day..

What do you think of this..

Sounds like we're only a couple of steps away from prohibition, again.
the last time, the government gave an invitation of power to, the mafia, wonder who they are inviting over, this time.
