OP didn't say people can disobey my order of Prohibition, that's why I say yes.

If they banned alcohol, I would literally just buy a whole bunch for the thrill of it. If a law is stupid, it deserves to be broken.

Yes, because preventing humans from indulging in one of it's greatest delights and doing a prohibition will obviously work! Let's do a War On Alcohol while we're at it!

No but seriously, war on prohibited substances seem to constantly fail. Maybe we should fight to reduce demand to a minimum, which would make alcohol less popular and less consumed?

The rise of golden grain alcohol will rise again in the thickets, in briar patches, in the hills and in the mountains.

Already tried that. It just led to the Italian Mafia becoming more powerful.

Not just Italians, Germans, Irish, Blacks, pretty much every race, creed and color got a piece of the bootlegging action. It can be argued that Prohibition, not unlike the so-called war on drugs, was targeted against minority groups, particularly Blacks. Prohibiting anything that human beings find enjoyable and that can be enjoyed without undue harm to others is generally a Bad Thing even without reference to increasing the profit from flouting the prohibition.

I am basing my entire answer on the fact OP asked if we would ban Alcohol if given the chance, that is all he asked. He never went beyond that and said if our order could be disobeyed, it was a simple yes or no question and I answered. I know the Prohibition failed in the United States and has failed worldwide, it's in human natural to disobey orders.

That's a pretty cool looking bottle!

[NationStates Puppet]

If no-one could argue with me, YES. If they can, then I’ll just ‘restrict’ it to a few cups per day. It will still be allowed for medical purposes, of course.

I really wouldn't call that "spite," I personally don't care.

Arguably it's bad from an ethical as well as a practical standpoint to proclaim laws that society would be indifferent to see broken.

Prohibition came about due to the rise of nutball busy bodies of the temperance movement which started before the civil war and gained steam afterwards coming to head in 1919.

That's fair enough.

But you said that you would make it mandatory to drink alcohol every day, people would break that law too. At least around 1.5 billion of them.

Alcohol is for posers.

With full immersion VR, emotional regulation through implanted brain chips, and neuropharmacy advancements, alcohol will be rendered unnecessary. I mean, so does a whole bunch of other things, but oh well.
