Why Alcohol Isn’t Banned

If alcohol is so dangerous, why isn’t it banned? The short answer: banning creates more problems than it solves.

In this video we break it down:
• History — alcohol is thousands of years old (used in rituals, medicine, then social life).
• Money — governments earn huge tax revenue from alcohol (excise duty funds public budgets).
• Prohibition lessons — 1920s US ban led to smuggling, black markets and organized crime, forcing repeal.
• Culture & politics — drinking is deeply woven into many cultures; sudden bans provoke backlash.
• Control vs. elimination — regulation lets states manage harm, collect revenue, and reduce illicit trade.

Banning sounds simple — but in practice it’s a lose–lose. Which solution do you think works better: stricter regulation or stricter bans? Comment below. 🔔
