Would making alcohol less accessible cause many fewer problems than it solved?

Obviously yes! Along with marijuana being legalized here... hard liquor is now sold in just about every grocery store and convenience store. Our local Fred Meyers grocery store has over twice the space relegated to liquor than it does to bread. And don't even get me started on Costco. Shoplifting by underage persons is now rampant. The state regulated liquor stores had much tighter security and did not allow persons under 21 to even enter the premises. We are having much greater problems with underage drinkers and adults who might not have bothered to make a separate stop for hard liquor previously. So yes, yes and yes. Making alcohol more accessible is causing greater problems.

“Making alcohol more accessible is causing greater problems. “

So how about we just make alcohol illegal?

Would that not solve the problem completely?

So let's have state regulated marijuana stores, rather than enriching violent cartels with marijuana prohibition.
