Do you think if we made them illegal use would go up or go down?

Did people stop drinking alcohol during prohibition?

That wasn’t the question, but rather, did consumption go down? I believe the answer was yes, it did go down but alcohol is so ingrained in society for so many millennia that prohibiting it will not shut off consumption.
