That’s like trying to prohibit alcohol in the United States
Yeah, vodka has such a long and rich history of good deeds in Russia. What a fool this fella is
I mean, unhealthy food is harmful too. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to try to ban it.
I disagree. Things should be “banable.”
for example:
- Lead in the water supply
- Burning fossil fuels
- Pre-rolled cigarettes
- Vodka
So we have different opinions; that’s cool!
I disagree but I hope you have a wonderful day.
His family got rich of the vodka since they basically had the monopoly on the vodka trade, they earned a shit ton of money of Russian state liquor. And by keeping the populace in a constant drunk state it made sure they stayed in power. Kinda ironic that his alcohol ban probably started political unrest and eventually the fall of the empire.

It’s a good thing we don’t do that anymore.
Sarcasm, I’m being sarcastic everyone
