Because banning a holiday that celebrates drinking is no different than banning drinking for a day. The one is as sensible - or as senseless - as the other.

Maybe we should let the victims of all those drunk driving accidents explain it. Oh wait, that's right they can't explain anything because they're dead just like even more will be killed this Sunday.

How is that any different from drunk driving accidents on any other day? Driving while drunk is already illegal. Read your gun control arguments.

As for being serious on an internet forum that's all relative. I'd be happy if bars were just prevented from advertizing it. I think if it weren't for the hype the body count would be much lower. Ditto with New Years celebration (the number one killer social event).

Would you be happy with banning all bar advertizing at all? Exactly how selective do you want to be? Perhaps drinking should be banned next on Friday and Saturday nights.
