There is not a single reason for any human to get access to alcohol to drink.

Edit 1:

Just to add the people who say that banning does not work is like saying banning guns does not work because people is going to find a way to get them or like saying we should not have speed limits because it does not prevent people from speeding. (Their opinions does not make sense to me)

      That’s literally what happened throughout the US in the 1920s.

      I can make alcohol in a bowl on my counter with sugar, yeast, water, potatoes, and a couple weeks waiting. I can do it much faster and more effectively with a little copper tubing and some heat.

        Great, how much can you make?

        The way that banning work is by limiting the availability.

        If you are a addict you cannot go to the bar for drink.

        Which means the banning work in your case.

          banning alcohol only reduced LEGAL AVAILABILITY, people will still be able to make mass quantities of alcohol for sale, these products will almost certainly not be up to standards of local health and safety originations and will result in more harm than if purchased through a legal source.

          Well when they banned it in the united states you could still go to a bar it was just illegal, they just had to be secret bars, if anything banning it makes it more dangerous since then it’s completely unregulated and you get bad moonshine and you go blind.

      Yeah. You’ll get there.

      The only friend I ever had die of actual alcohol ingestion was distilling it himself and made wood alcohol that killed him.
