    I think a big reason alcohol is still legal is that making it is so easy I’ve done it by accident a few times with a bottle of soda under my bed. (No, I didn’t drink it.)

    Because it’s so easy and relatively cheap to make from ingredients that are basically impossible to ban - yeast spores are floating around in the air, and carbohydrates and water are necessary for human life - there’s no way to keep it from being produced.

        Coca cola, mostly. I’d drink half a bottle and drop it on my floor and forget about it, then my mom would tell me to clean my room so I’d just shove everything under the bed and make the bed.

        I was not a tidy child.
