Answer:
People advocate banning the sale and consumption of intoxicant beverages on the ground of morality and ethics. According to them its consumption makes people addicts and drunkards. This ruins them and their family. They fail to realise, that prohibition is unjust for the majority for the sake of the few who would anyway come to ruin, because of their weak will power.
Enforcement of prohibition interferes with the private life of the citizen. People i drink for enjoyment, for overcoming weariness and for some it is a matter of aping the Jones. As confirmed by medical experts alcoholic drinks within limits are good for health. Furthermore, it is a necessity for people living in cold climatic conditions.
Enforcing prohibition is easier said than done. It gives rise to a plethora of other problems like bootlegging and trafficking in illicit liquor. While the former provides encouragement to antisocial elements making a mockery of the law, the latter gives rise to a parallel-uncontrolled industry. This is more dangerous as illicit breweries in the countryside serve poisonous brew to the poor labourers. Hundreds of people die on consuming such adulterated liquor. Those that are spared death are maimed for life being either blinded or paralysed.
