Between 1951 and 1963, it was illegal in the country of Geronia to man

The argument says that deaths were caused by the prohibition because ppl want to just do the opposite when asked to do certain thing( in this case DONT DRINK)

Weaken— something or reason that shows that deaths during this time were result of Issues that happened earlier

Strengthener — deaths are caused during this period.

The question asks find me a strength we—

A) Death from an alcohol-related disease generally does not occur until five to ten years after the onset of excessive alcohol consumption.——category weakener because an action that alcohol was consumed earlier caused the current death rate to increase

(B) The diseases that can be caused by excessive alcohol consumption can also be caused by other kinds of behavior that increased between 1951 and 1963.—categories weakener (other reasons)

(C) The death rate resulting from alcohol-related diseases increased just as sharply during the ten years before and the ten years after the prohibition of alcohol as it did during the years of prohibition.
—not relevant in my mind. Nothing to compare I will keep it though

(D) Many who died of alcohol-related diseases between 1951 and 1963 consumed illegally imported alcoholic beverages produced by the same methods as those used within Geronia.

Solution strengthens that ppl did consume alcohol during this time which is why death rate increases

(E) Between 1951 and 1963, among the people with preexisting alcohol-related diseases, the percentage who obtained lifesaving medical attention declined because of a social stigma attached to excessive alcohol consumption.

Weakener again prexisting issues
