MODERATORS
For some. Which is not enough to raise averages.
Look, I've just finished a bottle of wine, so I'm no teatotler. But what data does exist shows the immediate post-21st Amendment years as lower than pre-18th years. Prohibition was an overall failure, and I celebrate Repeal Day. but it did actually reduce the national average of alcohol consumption for a time.

Does that track reported consumption or alcohol related ailments?
Just consumption
Not sure how reliable it is, then. Or it could be that drinking culture bifurcated, where casual drinking stopped, and you either made it your life or did without, and a lot of the former category fucking died.
Yeah, exactly. Tons of economics research shows how often people don't step out of line, so lack of access has real effects. Prohibition locked out casual drinkers and people with no trustworthy connect to a bootlegger.
