Maybe because it's extremely expensive and also, you know, literally poison.

I have seen more than enough lives around me get ruined by alcohol that I have zero interest in ever taking a sip of it.

That's basically the attitude that the Mennonites have. I am not a mennonite, but I have been involved with many of them.

As I understand it, the view is that alcohol is not evil in itself, but the social damage that it does far outweighs any benefits. It just makes sense for the society not to have alcohol in it.
