everything else aside, if you ban the sale of alcohol in canada, you're going to see a rise in petty crimes like theft and vandalism.

this is a personal choice that needs to be made by individuals, not something that should be pushed down by authoritarian bodies.

personally, i almost never consume alcohol in my own house; i haven't touched that bottle of vodka since i left on the night of march 12th, and probably won't until i go to another concert, whenever that is. but, i'll be damned if i'm going to let a fucking government make that choice for me.
