In 1919 the 18th Amendment was ratified banning the production, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. The Amendment went into effect in 1920, and the era of bootlegging and related criminal activity blossomed. However, Prohibition's great social experiment ultimately failed. Congress proposed the 21st Amendment on February 20, 1933, repealing the 18th Amendment. It was ratified by the states on December 5, 1933.
Always drink responsibly and of course never drink and drive. If you are going to celebrate, think about trying Jesse James Dupree's Outlaw Bourbon Whiskey. Jesse is a huge supporter of veterans and the VFW's Unmet Needs Program. We shared a glass or two [and a sip onstage] at one of his band Jackyl's recent performances and it was great!
