78 Years Ago Today!

[JackLuis]

Monday marks the 78th anniversary of the ratification of the 21st Amendment, which officially ended Prohibition in the United States. On December 5, 1933, the federal government brought to a close a 13-year era deeply scarred by Mafia power grabs and draconian law enforcement measures…and all the American people got for it were some cool movies, an HBO series, and this stupid T-shirt.

So wrote Mother Jones.

Where was Brian or Jon on this story?

Mother has 18 drinking songs to Celebrate.

Etta James.

That's the way it was in 1961.
