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***

your side
@Weaboo Kempeitai the stats I posted were from Germany
why does JoJo hate India??? 😂
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
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
and you don't even know if the book makes the claim that you make
I think it would raise the potency and subsequent danger of the substances it is prohibiting.
it probably does not
libertarianism is a means in itself just like every other ideology which is why its a joke to engage on its underlying principles
that is not the same thing as increasing consumption
There are still many cities and towns in Canada called 'dry towns' which effectively uphold alcohol prohibition laws in the country to the present day
those are not equivalent
Hundreds
to get rid of the rats, just release snakes
- ancapism
Even though the national prohibition has been lifted
it serves no greater purpose other than wealth production
@Leaf I mean, that's fine. Why couldn't you just try that instead of doing that on the federal level. And why would you assume Libertarians would oppose that?
