The answer is “A”. Prohibition and intervention is working for drug abuse. The Surgeon General partly blames adults for underage drinking.

Also, the best method is not mentioned. That method is promoting healthy marriages. Out of wedlock childbirths is a primary cause of drug and alcohol abuse. Children need two parent households and Democrats are against the President’s Healthy Marriage Initiative.

Fact: Every 35 seconds a child is born out of marriage.
Fact: 75% of welfare goes to single family households.

“three quarters of this aid flows to single parent families.Children raised without a father in the home are more likely to experience: emotional and behavioral problems, school failure; drug and alcohol abuse, crime, and incarceration.The beneficial effects of marriage on individuals and society are beyond reasonable dispute, and there is a broad and growing consensus that government policy should promote rather than discourage healthy marriage.”
