Um, it did? Why then does underage drunken driving account
for such an astonishing number of deaths? If it worked so well,
why was it repealed? I wasn't there; was it repealed because
The People wanted to frink after all, or because the experiment
was deemed unworkable? (Ir a combination, or other factors.)
