Banning alcohol also led to bloodshed and corruption - so much so that a supermajority of Americans voted to end the ban.

And how many people have died from legal alcohol since then?

The policy-relevant questions are: how many more died than would have if alcohol had remained illegal (violent crime rose during Prohibition) - and how many of any additional deaths were self-inflicted, and thus not properly preventable by a ban-triggered increase in non-self-inflicted deaths?
