Actually Prohibition was a reaction to the rampant problem of cheap and readily available alcohol in those days.
Prohibition did a good job of breaking a large segment of society of alcoholism.
Now, I am not in favor of banning alcohol and although I do not drink, I do not think it is a sin to do so.
However, Prohibition was a response to a problem.

Well... praise the Gubberment! lol

What me and a young lady wanted to get married and we wanted to do something you'd consider very immoral in our bedroom. Would you want to use the GOVERNMENT to prevent us from marrying or doing those things??? If so, why? If not, why?

That is a great question and sort of follows a thought process that I had.
The "strange" sex segment of society seems to be growing.
So, how do you handle those instances where it goes too far and one of the parties wants to charge the other with a crime?
This sort of followed my thoughts on an individual freedom question.
What if two individuals had signed a contract where one of them agreed to kill the other one, with the one to be killed agreeing to it.
In your world that should be ok, correct?

Considering that killing someone can be seen as taking their rights away and that a good segment of the population cannot understand a desire to die that stems from anything but mental illness then I think an agreement for a person to kill another that desires to die could be construed as depriving a mentally ill person of his/her rights. As such one could argue that the contract should have been void because it was signed by a mentally ill person.
