I try not to answer with the government tyranny thing because it automatically makes them think you are a "nutjob".I prefer to answer with my own question that most antis can relate to, it may not change their mind but they will at least have to stop and think about it.

Why does someone need to drink alcohol?

There answer can usually be used for the same thing. Both can be enjoyed responsible, both can be abused, both have the potential to kill in the wrong hands. Neither can do anything without a PERSON using it. My favorite thing to add just to use antis own words is what benefit is there to alcohol that can't be gotten from something else? It seems like a simple argument to me, I am just tired of the responsibility of a persons actions being put on the background.
