>only $14.5 billion is collected in taxes.
that's ok. it pays lots of wages, feeds many industries. pretty sure we'd go to war if you took my beer. a lot more expensive than 185b-14.5b

What's your point?

That's nice. The alcohol industry also creates hundreds of thousands of jobs

what do niggers and illegals cost us?

>only $14.5 billion
and all of the $185 billion externalities are paid for by... who? the government?

oh, right. no

And it keeps people content, we'd be a miserable Muslim shithole without booze.

What are you suggesting? Should there be a 50% tax on alcoholic beverages?

That may be a good idea.

My state did that with cigarettes.

I doubt that something like this would get passed though.

There are too many degenerate people who love alcohol. They are the majority and would never vote for any politician advocating this.

Faggotry also costs a lot for society because people aren't procreating.

>Alcohol costs society $185 billion

Alcohol is the cornerstone of white civilization

don't touch my FUCKING BEER

A hard red pill for pol to swallow is the degeneracy of alcohol. It destroys the home, is an economical drain, a highly addictive substance, one of the top leading causes of preventable death and rape. It's slogan is drink responsibility, which essentially says "make good judgements, while influenced on a judgement impairing substance"

Why is all that other stuff illegal again?

Please ban alcohol so we can get real moonshine flowing.

Yes but banned alcohol costs much more to society in crime.
Regulated alcohol is the lesser of all evils.

>MDMA less harmful than Cannabis
Shit graph m8

Please explain how exactly they messed up
