Prohibition 1920-33

What they didn't tell you about those 13 years:

* Prisons and mental institutions emptied
* Cirrhosis of the liver was reduced by half
* It was the last time America balanced the budget
* In some states, illiteracy dropped from 49% to 2%

And now a Harvard University study has found that women who drink just one glass of wine a day increase their cancer risk by 123%.

The increase of lawlessness and violent crimes made the entire thing morally indefensible. On top of that, and by no means least, people should be free to imbibe alcoholic beverages as an expression of their natural liberties.

EPIC THE FAIL IS YOU.

Please get over the stereotypes and look up actual data and statistics from that era on crime, employment, diseases, and alcohol consumption.

I have surveyed the crime stats. Violent crime and lawlessness in general increased from Prohibition. And Prohibition was against natural liberty in the first place; it was a mistake purely on that basis and should have never been implemented.

At the height of Prohibition, there were about 11000 speakeasies in New York City alone. Eleven thousand. Contempt for the law had reached an all-time high. This did far more damage culturally than anything drinking ever did.

Your citation as required is Google itself, among other references to be found in a classical college education, the meta-citation being "any college". Get cracking on that.

What they really didn't tell you about those 13 years:

* Prisons and mental institutions filled up with gang rape
* Cirrhosis of the liver was reduced to pains and cramps
* It was the last time America gave a fuck
* In some states, illiteracy dropped from 49% to 48.99999%

And now a Harvard University study has found that women who drink just one glass of wine a day increase their sense of prostitution by 123%.

Prohibition of drugs has no problem working in Singapore and the Middle East.

1. Thread makes no sense.
2. Chances of finding an actual cute girl online is still an all time low compared to these odds.
3. Not only that, the rate of finding out your online girlfriend is really an ugly, fat, and miserable dude remains at a whopping 200%.
