conceptually, its not even ***possible*** that it does not decrease, or increases consumption

its impossible completely

the book you're talking about probably does not even make that argument

"Research conducted by the Ministry of Health regarding the consumption of tobacco influenced both public education and state policy; in reflection of the discoveries of the administration's health department, considerable measures were taken to curtail the consumption of tobacco. These measures included prohibitions on the sale of tobacco to minors, of smoking in public areas and within the armed forces, restrictions on the advertisement of tobacco products. Additionally, several tobacco advertising and manufacturing companies were forcibly closed by the state. These measures, while successful in some regards, were limited in their effeciacy by the Second World War. Nonetheless, the daily tobacco intake of the average serviceman was reduced by 25% and prohibitions on smoking in public were effective in eliminating the consumption of tobacco among a majority of minors." @Weaboo Kempeitai

but makes other ones

I cannot speak for @Weaboo Kempeitai, but when I was an ancap my position(s) was not dictated by emotion, but by a priori reasoning. This is the case with almost every libertarian. It's philosophical for them, not practical.

ancaps endorse lying

its loyalty to ideology is what it is

I'm fairly sure this is true

that they just endorse it

@Leaf We're talking about alcohol tho

@TheUserNameofPeace
Shinsekai yori is breddy cool

No, we're talking about prohibition

It's loyalty to a philosophical principle.

@Banjod lmao

@Roko cool

I mean

imagine being loyal to fucking idea what a joke

Most AnCaps don't read theory

So, that's fair.

don't take his freedom of lying away

Most ancaps don't read

Yes

True

first of all, its conceptually impossible that it didn't

@Banjod stfu you accuse everyone of lying lmao

He is right every time too

second of all, that isn't the only example of prohibition that we have

@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
