You're consistently missing the point.
The point is, as bad as the situation with alcohol is today, it was far, far worse under prohibition. Criminal gangs ran a lucritive business, used that money to corrupt our political, police, and justice systems; and slaughtered each other in the streets.
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre
You can still see the bullet holes in the granite on a building in downtown Chicago.
The prohibition of alcohol multiplied the societal problems that would otherwise have existed. Instead of just having some stinky drunks stumbling around downtown Chicago begging for dimes, you had well-heeled businessmen blazing away with their submachine guns over alcohol distribution territories, leading directly to the enactment of the first major infringement on our Constitutional rights, the National Firearms Act.
When was the last time a Miller distributor did a drive-by shooting against a Budweiser distributor?
Don't you get it? Prohibition is the disease, not the cure.
