of those things result(ed) in fewer people drinking and doing drugs. That’s the nature of the law. Some people don’t want to break the law and risk being arrested so they don’t do what the law prohibits. When you make drugs and alcohol legal, more people will be willing to do those things, which is my point.
Prohibition may have deterred some, but it created the original organized crime syndicates. It effectively created a problem that we couldn't solve. Prior to prohibition, you just had small groups of hustlers who could be caught rather easily.
It was a failure, so much so that 20th Amendment had to be abolished.

If you want to talk about other consequences, go ahead. My point stands. I’m not concerned about an abortion mafia starting up.
