!neolibs, !grillers, someone ping the boozers. For people who claim to be liberal (being for individual freedoms), they sure share a lot with the religious right in that they want individual freedoms curtailed to fit their Progressive eedeeology 
that's """evidence based"""".
Also there's this guy who whips it out and pisses in the Soylent lmao.

Lmao defending Prohibition.
I still don't understand how that madness passed. The r-slurs went as far as to amend the Constitution to ban booze and the Volstead Act was vetoed by Wilson, only for it to be overridden by Congress, that takes a lot of determination.

Fireball is drank exclusively by underage kids, alcoholics, and the trashiest of trashy people. It smells like death. They sell shooters by the register for $0.99 so you can pick up a handful when you get your Newports and Powerball tickets. Fireball shooter bottles are found in only the finest of Walmart, liquor store, and gas station parking lots.

I remember around 2016 there was like a year period that everyone around me decided that Fireball was good but now it seems like everyone I know considers it to be gross.

I think it's a self-reinforcing phenomenon. Everyone drinks it when they're underage and has a bunch of negative binge drinking experiences with it so by the time they're 21 they associate the taste with blacking out and puking.
This was my experience anyway

I was a teenager in the '10s and we mostly drank fireball and bottom shelf unflavored vodka chased with whatever soda we had on hand
And occasionally rum, which I still can't drink because of the associations.
I never got hangovers back then though, which is something I dearly miss.
I actually still enjoy vodka a lot, vodka sodas are prob my favorite cheap low end bar drink, but it has to be a decent vodka.

It was foids along with southern evangelicals that wanted it passed. The anti prohibition coalition was mostly Catholics and German Lutherans.

Alcohol consumption is a core part of Christianity. You receive communion of wine, which is literally the blood of Christ. His Holiness the Pope was often brought wine by visiting noblemen as tribute, and he is the voice of God on this earth. Even still there are wineyards which retain the Papal name, like Chateauneuf du Pape. Jesus Christ himself drank wine, and being part man he is meant as an ideal role model for us sinners, so who am I to disobey the word of God?
And yes, before you ask, this post was made while drunk

Yeah it's why there was a split among Prots from those that practiced Communion and the Eucharist like Lutherans being anti prohibition because like Catholics wine was a core part of their service whereas the Calvinist derived Prots like Baptists don't as far as I know and that's why they were more pro prohibition.

Considering that what happen during prohibition was that the mafias were selling alcoholic beverages at inflated prices, I think a tax on booze could have achieved a similar effect without the damage.

It's true, it used to be so bad that 'drunkenness' was it's own category in deaths in the census. I think it took like 50 or 60 years before they finally rebounded to pre-prohibition drinking levels.

It was common and accepted, even among puritans, to drink all day. The average puritan drank 6 gallons of pure alcohol a year, whereas today the average American drinks 2.8. The other part of that is that booze used to be nowhere near as strong, so Horace Goodfellow drinking beer all day was a lot different than Kyle Lowenballs drinking his craft 9% ipas all day

There seems to be a subset of progressives who thought prohibition was a god thing. I remember reading two articles by the same guy arguing how prohibition was good because it leave the workers safe from bad alcohols sold by the capitalists, and on another article he said it was good because women led the movement because the husbands wouldn't beat them while sober.
I really need to find out who the guy was.
