> the alcohol was legalized in order to a) reverse the ill effects of prohibition which led to birth of large-scale organized crime This statement is historically incomplete, and geographically myopic. Alcohol in the US was initially fully legal, then prohibited for a short period, then legalized again. Elsewhere, laws differ, but alcohol is largely regulated but legal for adults in most (non-Islamic) countries.
