Alcoholism is a growing problem among young people in Britain. Discuss the pros and the cons of a complete ban on the sale of alcohol in the UK.

The matter of the alcoholism in the UK is really old, but nobody has ever managed to solve it. A lot of British newspaper  report  the same awful problem, that has become a trend : the binge drinking, that is the habit to drink a lot in a little time. The result of this terrible trend is that a lot of people especially guys get drunk heavily. Everyday newspaper report photos of guys cowered in the streets and news of  violence in the city.
But what if the government  ban completely the alcohol in the UK?
There are many different points of view of people that are for or against this solution.
For example there are people that think ban alcohol is good for young people because they would be more rational and so there wouldn’t be violence or accidents with the same frequency that there is now. Furthermore alcohol cause many different diseases like tumors or death by the extreme dilatation of the blood vessels so not to use alcohol is positive to reduce these disease, not to mention  the cognitive ability which led many people, under alcohol effect, to suicide.
But there are a lot of people that think ban alcohol is stupid and harmful because young people and especially guys are always looking for rules to break and then banning alcohol would lead them to get drunk more. Moreover  banning alcohol would led people who work in pubs and clubs, where alcohol is sold in big quantity, to lose their work.
Well, what can we do?
A constructive solution is to educate people to use alcohol without overdo to reduce the possibility to have bad problems.
In conclusion, only if we will be able to solve the problem of alcohol making all agree about its use  can we ever hope to build a better world for future generations to live in.
