Alcohol is a known cause of a wide range of expensive social ills. Reinstitute prohibition. MAGA.

"Grape juice as we know it was actually invented by Thomas Welch (as in Welches Grape Juice) as a non-alcoholic alternative to communion wine. He was a Methodist minister , dentist, and prohibitionist that tried to get churches on board with using his pasteurized Grape juice instead of wine for communion.

Grape juice is still the norm in most churches well after prohibitionist ideals went out of mainstream popularity. Catholics and some more traditional protestant churches still use wine, but that's a small minority compared to Grape juice.

Welch's invention was the pasteurization process for grape juice. That's crucial in the non-alcoholic part of this: without pasteurization you risk yeast and bacteria surviving through bottling, and your bottle of grape juice turns into a very bad tasting yet still alcoholic bottle of wine."
