Neo Prohibitionism comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from June 2010 to November 2010.
Neo-Prohibitionism, Alcohol vs. Heroin Study
A controversial British study claiming alcohol is more harmful than heroin or crack is deconstructed as a tool for "neo-prohibitionism." The hosts argue that demonizing alcohol is a method of social control, as it is harder to govern people who drink. A separate news clip is played claiming that "smarter people drink more," which the hosts find ironic given the push to ban alcohol.
Neo-Prohibitionism, DUI Breath Testing and Cross-Examination
The discussion shifts to "neo-prohibitionist" policies in Chicago, where individuals with DUI convictions were required to perform breathalyzer tests eight times over a holiday weekend. The hosts compare the lack of public outrage over these restrictions to the legal handling of child pornography cases, where evidence is often difficult to cross-examine.
The hosts discuss "neo-prohibitionist" efforts to ban all drinking and driving. A health tip from New Scientist suggests that taking antacids like Tums can reduce the craving for a cigarette after consuming alcohol, as the craving is linked to stomach acidity.
