How can you say that? According to you, the term "illegal" has no meaning.
It's just an "artificial construct."

Did that make whisky any different?

Nobody ever contended that it did.


If
there's something wrought about whisky, it's wrong regardless of what
the law says. Notice how whisky was not changed, just the law.

And your point is -- ?


Apparently something too simple for you. The law changed but the
reality behind it (the actual harm of whisky) DID NOT.

That of course is completely irrelevant to any question regarding the
legality, or illegality, of any particular behavior -- or whether the words
"legal" and "illegal" have meaning.
