you aren't trying to claim that there was more alcohol abuse during prohibition?

I'm stating that it's very likely in light of the fact that prohibition increases the incentive to minimize the duration of possession per degree of intoxication, which one can do by ingesting a large amount as quickly as possible.

there's that claim you tried you say you didn't make.

Wrong again ... I didn't say I made no claims.

So where's your proof?

Right here.

So it's your opinion. Got it.

LOL So parsing words is how you attempt to bolster your argument. Well, if that's all you have.

The claims in the article you refer to are interesting, but just curious - how does one compile accurate figures of gallons of alcohol consumed when said alcohol is illegal? Any link to how these figures were compiled? Without some evidence of validity, I just have to assume they are made up figures. (Similar to the claims of the number of abortions which occurred prior to Roe v. Wade.)
