Alcohol costs and benefits
Ed Stringham defends laissez-faire for alcohol on San Francisco public radio (The Costs of Alcohol Abuse, scroll down a bit). It is a spirited dialogue that winds up matching Ed against the host (a self-described quasi-teetotaler), other guests and callers all lined up with the paternalistic, moralistic, prohibitionist, statist views. Hat tip: The Barstool Economists.
