if only you could read beyond a headline. That would be a nifty skill to have :^)

yeah, alcohol prohibition was just a headline

it really meant you could still have and drink all the booze you want

>he didnt read the legislation
>he didnt read the gallup polling

millions of dollars spent going after booze, thousands of photos of government agents dumping booze into sewers

worse gang crime in history based solely on the illegal distribution of booze

because people were allowed to drink all they wanted

>moving the goalposts

imagine being that fucking retarded you thought someone would believe your lies

its your fucking words dude

and actually, as mandatory pointed out, drinking it in and of itself wasnt prohibited. Ownership was restricted but not eliminated

it's not

as I pointed out, it wasn't legally possible to ban drinking of it without being struck down

but production was bannable

as was distribution

and buying it

and selling it

and possession

it actually wasnt even wholly the case

since perscription and religious use alcohol was okayed

ethanol fuel was outlawed under prohibition

ford stopped making ethanol buring cars

products that used alcohol were able to be sold and owned but not produced as per the document mandatory linked

because no one could get fuel

there were some consumer products that had alcohol in small quantities that were allowed to be sold, but future iterations had to drop alcohol as an ingredient

I cant imagine how dumb you have to be try to convince someone that people were allowed to drink under prohibition

as though they dont know the purpose was to stop people from drinking

as though the millions of people drinking booze in illegal establishments had nothing to do with the ban on drinking

officers all over the country combing the hills for illegal stills

there were also medicinal uses

bootleggers pushing the development of cars because cops are chasing down illegal loads of booze in high speed pursuits

yeah, look at this article that shows that people were actually allowed to drink a thimble of wine during prohibition

>nobody ever abuses loopholes
:^)

it basically allowed people to own and drink all they wanted if you dont think about it

people abused loopholes in a law, so the meaning of the law changes

hey real quick, show me some articles about how people are really allowed to shoot meth anytime anywhere because there are periphery cases where it happens

>the meaning of the law changes
??

there are laws against murder, but here is a case where a murderer didn't go to jail, so those murder laws really meant that murder was legal

there was a constitutional ammendment against alcohol, but here are some periphery cases where people got around it, so that constitutional ammendment that made alcohol illegal really made it legal

that's the idiocy of your argument

>a loophole that guarantees legal workaround is the same as someone not going to jail
are you genuinely retarded?
