Suppose people campagining against alcohol and in fact other drugs empahsised personal responsiblity rather than the law.

I think the US would be a better place with fewer people in jail.

I think there would be a little less use of alcohol than in otl. I think that there would be more use of currenrtly illegal drugs but fewer deaths.

I wonder whether there would be demands for tighter control. There would still be some damage.

I wonder what if any movement would exit
 
It's a really hard sell, Americans just don't DO moderation. Buying out slave owners for instance, like the British did, wasn't ever even seriously on the table, we had to have a massive ocean of blood instead.
Its really hard to get something into the legal but highly disapproved of slot for long---kind of like a metastable state.
