@Fénius Farsaid that's a lie
I just provided example number two
Why does it need to be alcohol?
are you not a traditionalist?
alcoholism is part of european identity
@Leaf Because how you prohibit both varies greatly, also, cigs have never been totally banned in the states to my knowledge.
@Banjod I'm not, I just like alcohol.
I want it preserved because I think those aspects of Europe are cool
i was mocking you
And aesthetically pleasing
this is the things you've pretty much said
the bottle is the only asthetic thing to alcohol
have you ever noticed
kids should be allowed to drink
here's the ***Cato Institute*** on the question - a veritable libertarian organization
if they consent
even ***they***
aka
your side
@Weaboo Kempeitai the stats I posted were from Germany
Here are some regarding alcohol prohibition in Canada
doesn't claim that consumption increased, or was not lower than pre prohibition levels
"Between the years of 1920-1925 five provinces voted to repeal prohibition. The elimination of alcoholic beverages had made a difference in Canadian society. The Ontario Alliance for the Total Suppression of the Liquor Trade stated in 1922 that the number of convictions for offenses associated with drink had declined from 17,413 in 1914 to 5,413 in 1921, and drunkenness cases had dropped from 16,590 in 1915 to 6,766 in 1921.[34] By the end of prohibition, nearly three quarters of beer breweries had closed.[35] It was only in the second half of the twentieth century that a significant number of new breweries opened again." @Weaboo Kempeitai
during prohibition
alcholism in children depends on the child
even the ***libertarian scholars*** don't make the ridiculous claim which you make
and they give the exact reasoning that I do
they agree that it would be conceptually impossible
prohibition increases prices, so will lower consumption necessarily
by at least some level
it certainly will not raise consumption
Honestly almost nobody understands libertarianism. I bet that a good 90% of this discord server has no clue what they are talking about when they advocate for or criticize libertarianism. All they can likely do, whether effective or not, is battle with libertarians on specific issues without ever reaching the underlying principle of libertarianism and debating that itself.
To summarise, 5 years of alcohol prohibition in Canada lead to a reduction by two thirds in public intoxication and related criminal activity, convictions by an equal amount and lead to the closure of three quarters of all breweries in the country.
Just 5 years
Nice
@Nerthulas Dude just read the damn book lol. If it's so wrong you shouldn't have an issue proving so.
@TheUserNameofPeace shinsekai yori is pretty heavy though. If you want something lighter try gto (great teacher onizuka)
I have already proven so
