CORINNE: I don't like it either. But I guess a lot of Americans want to regulate drinking. They don't think it's good if people buy alcohol late at night.

ALEX:I know.I read about it. CORINNE:So I think the laws today reflect that old attitude.Many people think alcohol is bad.And they think the govemment should control it.
