In 1933, on this day
Prohibition went away.
That's because the 21st amendment, which undid the 18th amendment, was fully ratified on 12/5/33.
No, I don't actually remember it. But Funky Brown Chick mentioned it.
Prohibition was a horrible idea. Banning such a popular substance led to nothing but trouble. For one thing, Prohibition created gigantic black market opportunities for deadly thugs. I'm glad we'll never do anything like that again.
Oh, wait.
I think
The war on drink,
Which fed money to so many thugs
Was a lot like the war on drugs.
