There is NO benefit, either personally or societally, from drinking alcohol.

This is an incorrect statement.

I think what you mean is that, in your opinion, the negatives of alcohol outway any positives. If that's you're point, I agree. Or it's at least close.

However, the 18th Amendment was a good trial balloon that sank like a Led Zeppelin.

Okay, then. Name a single health benefit from drinking alcohol. I’ll wait.
