Prohibition was partially successful. The country was able to reduce the number of deaths from cirrhosis by more than half.

I wasn't aware statistics for diseases are available from that time period?

If you can drink wine at church, why shouldn't you be able to have a beer at the game?

Church: Sip
Game: Quaff

Now you know.

Prohibition: death rate due to liver cirrhosis US | Statista

BIG De Bruyne fan. I was telling everybody who wanted to listen he was better than Hazard in 2014. This was when Mourinho called him lazy at Chelsea. History proved me right.

I fully support Qatar’s ban on alcohol in stadiums. It’s time for the Western, allegedly “Christian world,” to face it’s disgraceful alcoholism.

We Need Democratic Control of the Alcohol Industry

Alcohol consumption has skyrocketed in recent decades, and so, too, have alcohol-related deaths. Putting the industry under public control could push back against the public health crisis — and show how to regulate other drugs.

College sports venues here ban alcoholic beverages.

Watch Doku if he plays. Very exiting winger if he remains healthy.

 

[Anathema]

Lol. Tell that to the thousands of people who died from gang violence and shootouts. You are talking about the period in the 20th century that was the heyday of organised crime, precisely because of prohibition

Yes, and they should have been wiped out by the Government. No mercy. No quarter. No exceptions. Just like the drug war.

There is no need for consumable alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs in our society. Even prescription medications need to be far more tightly controlled.

i prefer Carrasco but ok

True. After prohibition public drunkenness was no longer a problem.

Probably one of the most graceful players I've ever seen bias aside. He is like Zidane making incredible difficult technical things look very easy.

Lots of college venues here ban alcoholic beverages.

High school venues around here ban alcohol as well- even for the adults in attendance.

Do you have a reliable source for that claim?
And how many people died from drinking moonshine/ bath tub gin?

Never been a big fan. Always seems just short of his potential.

You don't take the medicine away before the ailment is cured. People drink because of their various 'ailments' .
