I guess if you're mostly happy with how something is then you've no reason to bring it up.
Nobody is writing long articles, posting tweets or appearing on TV shows to talk about it being quite nice that they can currently go and buy a beer from a shop. But someone could easily decide that they want to rile people up about the easiness of buying beer. And it all goes from there.
I mean we literally did that in the 1920s
Alcohol consumption was like 800% higher before prohibition happened. It seems silly today, but alcohol abuse was a super rampant issue in the early 1900s.
And yet we drank more during actual Prohibition than before. I wonder if other things happened in that time period… /s
