Prohibition was an abject failure. It led to a rise in crime as the sale of illicit alcohol funded organized crime. The laws failed so miserably that the us government took to poisoning industrial alcohol supplies that were often stolen in order to make illicit alcohol. Fuck Vox, that shit rag is straight up mini-truth scrub and re-write propaganda!

You're the one spreading big alcohol propaganda while ignoring real evidence. You can't even disprove their claims; all you do is repeat the same thing all the other shills do — a claim the article disproved.

When prohibition ended: guess who opened up all the bars? Organized crime! They didn't decide to shut down their liquor businesses just because the Democrats made it legal to sell — if anything, that made it easier for them.
