Read a few of the Brit papers to look at “other” effects caused by bing drinking besides health.

In the UK they call it hooliganism. Drunks getting “pissed” on cheap booze, pour onto the streets and start fighting each other, and civilians and doing damage to property. I think the ban has as much to do with cutting back on anti-social behavior as health.

We like it.
It’s left a trail of graft and slime
It don’t prohibit worth a dime
It’s filled our land with vice and crime, Nevertheless, we’re for it.”
