Monopoly on Death

More than 1,500 people were poisoned by alcohol in the Irkutsk region. Of these, 1,146 are in hospitals, 58 have died. Any normal person is ready to agree with the State Duma deputies on this issue - this is terrible. But how from such facts a conclusion is drawn about the need for a state monopoly on alcoholic products is more difficult to understand. It seems there are laws prohibiting production, trade, etc. “Scorched vodka”, perhaps now we need to make them work? Otherwise, then it is necessary to introduce a state monopoly on watermelons, they are also often poisoned.
