> Gin is legal today, and it is not causing social collapse.

Gin isn't legal the way it was back then. It's only sold in stores and places with liquor licenses, it's heavily taxed, and there are all sorts of rules surrounding it. If in we had gin carts every twenty feet hawking it at kids and the homeless and it only cost a few cents per shot, I'm sure we'd have all the same problems.
