    What the hell are you talking about, can you not connect the dots of a basic conversation?

    Alcohol is a net detraction from our society… You don’t want it to go up in price because you enjoy the product and want it to be cheap. And you really don’t care if your ability to get it cheap means that it harms our society.

    I feel like I’m talking to an infant here

      I don’t think you’ve considered all of the factors. The thing with alcohol is that it’s very cheap and very easy to produce in your own home. What you’re suggesting risks the development of black market bootlegging and all of the problems associated with it.
