I must correct your assessment of prohibition. in the UK the town of kirkintilloch (north of Glasgow) enjoyed prohibition for 50 years during which time the town could not qualify for grants for deprived areas it had non. population 40,000 alcohol prohibition works. It went pro alcohol in 1970 and is now a broken place. the legalized retailing of alcohol for commercial gain is the alcohol dealers dream knowing his punters cant sing a better song
