Which is exactly why the Prohibition is still in force, right?

Prohibition threatened the government, so it's gone, gone, gone.

The government got smart and instituted the War on Drugs as a test model for further encroachments on liberty. If you're carrying several thousand dollars in cash, the Kettenhunde can seize it and charge it with a crime. You'll never get it back.

Furthermore, the government then instituted the War on Tobacco, as a preliminary for dealing with alcohol. Soon, the government will attack alcohol with the same tools they used on tobacco.

Hell, right now, it's a thoughtcrime to drink and drive. But I suppose a statist like you just loves that sort of thing...

So you think drinking and driving, which in itself is a gross act of negligence and irresponsibility that endangers many innocent lives, is OK?
