I've travelled in 15 countries. Non of them had anything like the 18th. I was supposed to travel to two Muslim countries which live under an 18th (or similar). Both of those trips got cancelled, one because they blew up the plant I was going to, another because they started killing people in the streets. I'll live with the 21st, thank you. (Very much). Side: Yes 21st
Adults should be allowed to put whatever substance they please into their own body and live with the consequences. Aside from the fact that prohibition can't work without a totalitarian state, it simply doesn't make sense to take away somebody's agency when nobody else is being harmed. Side: Yes 21st
We could link to all the harm attributed to alcohol. So the concept of the 18th banning it isn't totally without merit. It's just the reason prohibition was imposed was far more moral than practical, and in a country based heavily on freedom it's just really hard to justify why all the people who use alcohol without abusing it somehow have to give it up completely. Side: Yes 21st
