yes, put those little pictures on them as well so the kids can trade those too.
Where should the advisory label for physical inactivity go? (I'm as guilty as anyone lol)
Alcoholism is a deadly disease. We should really look back on prohibition and consider that maybe we've swung too far in the other direction in our encouragement and acceptance of it.
- Prohibition is not the way to go. Education is a much better alternative
- Careful, the Prohibition Era wasn't sunshine and rainbows.
  
  "On balance, Prohibition probably reduced per capita alcohol use and alcohol-related harm, but these benefits eroded over time as an organized black market developed and public support for [national prohibition] declined."

  National alcohol prohibition in the United States between 1920 and 1933 is believed widely to have been a misguided and failed social experiment that made alcohol problems worse by encouraging drinkers to switch to spirits and created a large black market for alcohol supplied by organized crime.
