Outlawing drugs/alcohol is a dangerous game. Prohibition cost the U.S. organized crime and NASCAR, back in the day....
In the modern British legal system, and many others, for that matter, the Bible is entirely significant. I'm not much of a political expert, but it doesn't take a degree to realize there is a great deal of influence that has come out of the book. Many politicians nowadays are Christian, many politicians decades ago were Christians, and so on. Moral principles are learned, passed down, and suggested towards others. I can't think of a way to clearly describe the idea, but whether you accept it or not, much of society's moral foundations intertwine with biblical influence, though not remaining confined to direct derivatives.
Something like that.

I think that's an interesting perspective coming from someone who lives in Dallas, Texas. You're about as far away from our country as humanly possible, yet you claim that you know all about this.
Well, let me be the first to tell you, that you don't know the first thing about it. If you had some kind of proven experience with UK laws, or done some research with a political expert, looking into their origins and the religious nature of the political parties that have run the country over the years, THEN you might have some kind of backing to your claims.
If you are so eager to prove the link between the creation of British laws and the bible, get a british law and demonstrate the connection to us. And by "demonstrate the connection" I do not mean something stupid like "God says you shouldn't kill anyone so it's against the law to do murdering isn't it yes thankyou please".
When a law is made in the UK, it must take into consideration every single religion and ethnic group in the UK. It must not offend or otherwise encroach upon the rights of any individual to practice his or her religion to the extent which his or her faith requires. I would like to point out that this shouldn't be confused with the bible being the moral base for the creation of the laws.
