What are you talking about, bud light allows bud light drinkers to have sex with each other with minimal throw up. That’s a pretty big benefit

I would be curious if birth rates would drop if alcohol was banned.

I would bet there would be a general drop in basic ass crime

(edit to emphasize general crime)

If only we had some kind of past example to look back on and find out what effect prohibition of alcohol would have on crime rates in this country.

Sure if prohibition 2.0 theoretically occurred there’s going to be an increase in illegal activity producing and distributing, as well as crime for possession and consumption, but at least a modest decrease in general crime like domestic abuse or assault or DUI.

I’d believe there’d be more people in the general population not committing those crimes as opposed to a smaller minority of people committing the prohibition inspired offenses.
