you have to remember that  some people can sociably drink  and others that have drinking problem(s) IMO it   should   be seen as an addiction/mental health issue plus if it were banned there would be a huge illicit black market for it.



 It would end up uncontrolled/unregulated and people would never know the quality or Alcohol by  volume  of a drink or what type or grade of alcohol they are comsuming Or even if it is alcohol.



it would be  much like the  opioid  crisis we face with fentanyl today and accidental Overdoses.



Since prohibition made  the Gangsters/Booze Runners Rich back in the day caused violent shootings and other Gang Relateed illegal activity it would not  work and people  need to be fre to choose if they want to drinl or not but their should be regulators  to insure it is safe and has quilty control.



also to prevent it from going to the black market and it  could be used to raise taxes (Sin Tax*) to help with alcoholism/addicton treatment(s) and anti-drinking and driving ad's.

 Criticism remains that Prohibition led to unintended consequences such as the growth of urban crime organizations and a century of Prohibition-influenced legislation. As an experiment it lost supporters every year, and lost tax revenue that governments needed when the Great Depression began in 1929.

I fully understand that prohibition is a non starter..



I was talking about how moderate sharia law may not be too bad at all and even has examples in Canada that don't allow alcohol sales.

I think adopting of good laws regardless of the origin is a good practise.  I just don't think there is such thing as sharia light.

Maybe not, but if there was it could bridge a big cultural divide.
