Alcohol serves purposes other than intoxication. A fine wine is terrible thing to drink for inebriation; good vodka is cheaper with fewer side effects.

That being said consumption of alcohol and drugs are not victimless. The beated wife, the ignored children. Sons growing up with father figure with no drive to self improvement. Therefore, I wouldn't mind rolling back a lot of the alcohol liberalization of the past few decades.

And very often small mom and pop shops aren't insured

"it's only property, it's probably insured!"

People who say this don't have real jobs; not the type of jobs where they'll end up on pain killers when they retire. They have laptop jobs on the softer side of intellectual rigor.

Money is time traded from your life, health traded from your body to your employer. Stealing property is literally stealing the purpose of hours of grueling work.
