1. I don\'t know if this is actually a problem. Back in the 1700s plenty of single people went to the new world, never to see their family again. People adapt, as long as their are people around to adapt with. 2. One capsule is a jail? Or, perhaps capital punishment is used for minor crimes. (Not particularly moral, but it would be effective). 3. Big question, is it marketable. 4. This is actually a big issue. It\'s incredibly inefficient to waste grains on alcohol production, especially when there is a limited food supply. I\'d imagine intoxicants used would be other than Alcohol. Marijuana, or other plant based substances come to mind. 5. Soap operas (which run for decades) are fairly popular, I don\'t see a fundamental difference between this and a soap opera.
