UK has toyed with a ban on Alcohol, several times.
We're STILL living with Alcohol Legislation, brought-in over 100 years ago, during WW1. Many in Scotland will tell you, the birth of Irn Bru in Falkirk was as a direct result of early drives on 'responsible drinking', mainly for British Empire Productivity reasons!
Heavy engineering in Central Scotland was fuelled on Beer. Some Shipyards in Glasgow had Mobile Bars, designed to cater for extremely thirsty welders, by setting up at the Shipyard gates! Many wanted to stop this Gallon-a-day habit, though. Temperance wasn't just a USA thing. Let them drink 'Ginger'!
To this day, the UK landscape is peppered with Halls, Cafes and Buildings that were a reminder of the early 20th-Century 'Temperance' movement.
Prohibition in 1920s USA has already shown how a complete Alcohol Ban would play-out. The answer is: Badly!
And there are already many places in the World where Alcohol is banned, for Religious or 'Productivity' reasons. To think that the World is a booze soaked place is mainly true though. More places have it than don't have it.
It's been shown that it's pretty hard to put the 'Genie back in the bottle', so perhaps our biggest opportunity lies with Education? Letting 'consumers' know the effect this Legal Drug has on the human body and teaching them about the Ingredients?
In a more fun, less alarmist and altogether non-Draconian way.
Education, when it's entertaining, is always easier to absorb.
Training is the way to go.

RTD BRAND FLASHBACK Something I'm very proud of is the fact that I made this happen. It was either going to pay for my kids college education or be a great experience and story to tell...turns out it's a great story. 😅 I have had, and will continue to have, a colorful (literally, if you look at the labels) career. https://www.bevnet.com/brands/teany
