I’m a (mostly) teetotaler because of my family history. I can’t think of a single family funeral that I’ve been to that didn’t either end up at the deceased’ favorite bar, or with a trip to the liquor store.
I still enjoy my boxed wine, but i have to get Merlot, because you (at least I) can’t really chug Merlot.
Cousin(s): Trip to liquor store, then whichever house had the most room.
Grandparent(s): Visit their favorite bar, then stumble back to the hotel until sober enough for the 7+ hour drive home…
Hey actually unpopular, nice.
Alcohol killed my father. Ruined multiple relationships of mine. Severely impacted my life in multiple ways. I’ve yet to touch a drop.
I mention all this because if someone was gonna have beef with Alcohol laws, I’d be one of them lol.
If it wasn’t Alcohol the addicts would have found something else. They’re running from mental issues and masking with things to forget.
Banning never works. The issues are almost always more complex and nuanced.
Thank you again for the unpopular opinion!

Banning work.
Wish them luck. Interesting to see if they do ban those how It would effect the data they cited.

They only banned a certain type of alcohol not all of it from what I can tell.
Limits tend to work, bans just inspire an underground
