Not saying you're wrong here, but do you have any articles on stories such as this? I've never really heard of organized crime making significant profit from alcohol sales other than prohibition in the 1920's, when it was actually deemed
illegal by the US government. Even in that case it wasn't the consumption of alcohol that was illegal, it was the manufacture, sale, or transportation of it which was.
