Answer:

Gin.

Explanation:

Gin Craze is a term for the sharp rise in alcoholism in England in the first half of the 18th century, when domestic entrepreneurs immediately threw themselves into the production of this brandy from available raw materials, such as grain and juniper, and flooded the country with cheap gin, where hard alcohol was a luxury item until then and people were used to drinking mainly beer.

As consequence, mass drunkenness erupted, especially in the slums of London, which led to an increase in crime and widespread demoralization. In 1743, it was recorded that the average Englishman consumed ten liters of gin a year. A number of scandals led to the British Parliament passing a series of so-called gin laws between 1729 and 1751, which banned the tapping of spirits without an official concession and significantly taxed gin production. Consumption therefore fell sharply, and the definitive end of Gin Craze marked the years 1757–1760, when the use of grain to produce alcohol was banned due to a large crop failure.

Mandatory sentences have become common in the criminal justice system, requiring definitive sentences to be imposed in each rele
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mandatory sentences have a general rule, a judge will decide the punishment once the trial is done.  This law came to stop drug crimes.  

The pros of this law are a way to stop drug distribution and prevent them from committing more drug crimes.  

But at the same time is unjust, and doesn’t allow for the judge to be flexible in the process of sentencing individuals, where in some cases they might be innocent.  

These sentencing laws are starting to fail, some lawmakers, and states begun to have other alternatives such as instead of jail, they are forced into treatment programs.  They are called drug court and they are more cost effective. And prevent once they are out of jail keep committing crimes.
