I believe that not enforcing alcoholic rules actually serve society as a whole better. We have seen pretty conclusive proof of this, as many European countries have less alcohol related problems because of more lax rules. This is because, in Europe, many countries drink alcohol, in moderation, in a social context. Italians, for example, have a nice glass of wine(one that fits the meal, of course) during their meals. America is very different because we are structured on Puritan ideals, in which it stood against things such as Alcohol, crime, and drugs... Which is exactly why America is filled with all of those things. Down within our American-fed brain we recall those that took advantage of that opportunity and saw massive profit, we see this men do horrible things in a Puritan point of view, such as drinking, and doing drugs, but they also saw these folks making mass profit. Those that drank within Europe were just considered normal people, but those that drank in a Puritan society were "sinners". This caused a massive split in which we see in today's context. Then, prohibition came. This literally made everyone want to drink, because taking away something that has been taken for granted was a horrible thing. This created the American stigma of which it was "cool" to drink alcohol, because it was against the law during prohibition. Once speakeasies arose, America as a whole drank large amounts of alcohol in one sitting due to the lack of availability of other places.(fun fact @

, this is when the milkshake started becoming popular, as many bars started to sell milkshakes in order to keep their businesses). So, then, prohibition falls, as alcohol is legal. Americans continue this streak of heavy drinking. Father teaches son, mother teaches daughter, ect. Then we have European countries who are still drinking in moderation. So fast forward to today, and our society is still paying these consequences. Don't believe me? Well, in 2013, the city of Chicago alone, had 5,000% more murders than the entire country of Britain. Now, I am not saying that all Americans have an innate drinking problem, nor am I saying these problems do not exist in other countries. I am merely showing the huge differences in ideology and of crime, and drinking.
So yes. I hope you learned something from Uncle 'Dorf young ones.
