- Well, murder and robbery are also prohibited, and yet they still happen, but that's not a reason to legalize them, and the same goes for prostitution - the mere fact that it's prohibited has deterred many workers and their clients from this profession, and it's not only a threat to public health, but also to its morality. I know several supposedly former "night butterflies," and each of them leads a bleak and aimless life - in their thirties and beyond, they have no aspirations, they abuse alcohol, they eat whenever and whatever they can, their circadian rhythms are disrupted, they have no husband, most of them have no children, and the one who does has a son who is practically an orphan. In general, this profession has taken a toll on them, but they didn't go into it because of a difficult life, but simply because at that time, such activity was considered slightly more acceptable than it is now.
— Even so," the Tanarian's eyes widened, "yes, your experience is different from mine. Although it's probably not that surprising. In general, I can imagine," she nods thoughtfully, "something similar is sometimes found among soldiers, despite the obvious difference in their activities. They are always on the road. They have relied only on their weapon skills their whole lives. They have no long-term plans. And then they get injured somewhere. They can no longer continue their activities. They never started a family with that kind of lifestyle. So they turn to the bottle and live out their days. You've probably seen such people yourself."

— Hmm, perhaps a little off-topic, but where are you from, by the way? I'm a little curious, after your comment yesterday about the juice.
