    Prohibition worked wonders for alcohol consumption in the US.

      It did, actually. It dropped to about 30% of its previous levels and then rose back up to 70% over several years. There were plenty of other reasons prohibition sucked, but your point is not about those.

    Ah yes, the perpetually successful prohibition technique. Because humans respond so well to nonconsensual abstinence.
