Who would poison our liquor without government?
- DanBC 10y agoCriminal gangs selling bootleg liquor will sometimes sell contaminated product.
- jeremyjh 10y agoDue to incompetence/apathy. They have no motivation to kill their paying customers.
- sitkack 10y agoLet the market decide.
- dalke 10y agoThey do have motivation to undercut the competition and make short term profits. With many middlemen, the bootlegger's customer is rarely an end user. The end-user doesn't know who on the supply chain has adulterated the alcohol for a quick buck, and the lack of enforceable trademark protection and brand loyalty means a distiller will have less oversight on the distribution.
- haroldp 10y agoThere's no such thing as a criminal gang selling bootleg liquor without a government prohibition.
- DanBC 10y agoOf course there is. No matter what price alcohol is sold at it will always be cheaper for a criminal gang to sell it cheaper. There's no need for any government intervention for this to be true.
