Read about prohibition in the US.
Lots of exorbitant profit - the fruit of illegality.The drunk wards were fill. The gangsters killed and maimed and became multi-millionaires.
I don't think women prostituted themselves for drink - but maybe.
Thank heaven, Americans became sensible and legalized alcohol again. That forced the gangsters into other profitable avenues - such as drugs.
But, you obviously don't know much about the drug situation in the US. Perhaps you should read a little more .

Legalization clearly takes the profit out of drugs! IT PUTS THE PROFITS INTO DRUGS by creating the vast mass markets necessary for REAL profits. But then, Harry and Keith have never been against markets, right. *Argh* Chris
