Which probably has the same effect as prohibition in the US, with huge financial incentive for smuggling and black markets. Another stupid thing, every half-brained goon can make alcohol unless you forbid fruits and sugar.

I have been brewing my own for a few years now, drinking moderately every day this year all homebrewed for the most part. It is so much cheaper. And less running to the store. Plus there is no record of you being a frequent user of alcohol when you brew it yourself. Which in the US could very well be used against you on me law enforcement Information Network they use.

It doesn’t really. The only smuggling is for yourself in form of alcohol tourism where those living close to borders drive across and stock up on it.

Alcohol is still available in Sweden, just more expensive. Hardly anyone turns to the black market to get like 30% off.
