Opening heading

[edit]

The claim of "a 48 percent increase in alcohol consumption" is a little troubling. That's a lot, and the cited text ("National Public Health Task Force Recommends Against Privatization of Retail Alcohol Sales") as retrieved at this writing does not seem to contain any reference to "Washington", nor should it, having been written in 2011, before privatization! It uses a 48.2% figure for some general worldwide median change, possibly extracted from a supporting evidence table compiled some years earlier. The revenue claims also seem unsupported.Donnx (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:08, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Let's add a criticism section

[edit]

Here's some text for consideration to include in the article.

Criticism

[edit]

The ideological and political notion of limiting access to alcohol products has been interpreted by some researchers as outdated, unscientific and overly-manipulative of human populaces. (Add many easy-to-find, empirically researched references here). Furthermore, contemporary studies highly correlate moderate alcohol beverage consumption with many health benefits, including (but not limited to) decreased risk of atherosclerosis,[1]

The above is a criticism of temperance in general and might go in that article. Even there though, a criticism citing one scientific paper only would not survive for 30 seconds. Take a look at the articles in the Alcohol and Health box to see hundreds of papers about alcohol's effects, often bad but sometimes good. Nunquam Dormio (talk) 08:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
