Petition Ban alcohol consumption in the UK

According to the recent petition responded to by the government (https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/104349), it was noted that Cannabis use was harmful to human health, ruins families, etc. But, there's another minor substance which, by some strange loophole, is still widely legal: alcohol.

More details

A study by the Royal College of Physicians said drink-related health problems could account for up to 12% of total NHS spending on hospitals, about £3 billion. But due to absenteeism, unemployment, premature deaths and alcohol-related crimes/accidents, the total cost of excessive drinking is £6 billion.
Alcohol can unquestionably cause harm to individuals and society.
Despite the revenue through taxation, there are costs in relation to administrative, compliance and law enforcement activities.
