Like Prohibition?
Ah, yes. Liberals love to show that prohibition was a terrible ammendment. But what you don't know is that prohibition reduced drinking in the US by about 90%. Most folks followed the dictates of prohibition and they quit drinking. This brought on the associated benefits of a more sober society.

Sure some didn't stop drinking and sure the bootleggers became prosperous and sure Big Al gained control of South Chicago. But that does not take away from the fact that for the most part Prohibition did stop most Americans from drinking.

I'll betcha didn't know that.
