Alcohol and violence against women
mardi 7 janvier 2020 à 01:00A big part of the motivation for banning alcohol in the US was to reduce violence against women.
Prohibiting alcohol was oppressive and boosted organized crime, just as prohibition of other drugs is today. As a cure, it is worse than the disease. But use of more than a little alcohol is still a big problem. Prohibition is not the answer, but I am in favor of exploring ways to eliminate the social pressures to drink to excess.
