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.

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.
