Tomorrow is the 75th anniversary of the end of Prohibition. On December 5, 1933, at 5:32:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the Twenty-first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, fulfilling the requirement of ratification by 3/4 of the states and thereby repealing the Eighteenth Amendment. America’s nearly 14-year experiment with the nationwide prohibition of alcohol came to an end.
So drink up on Friday!
I don’t know why, but this post has me thinking back to a stinky Clubhouse in Charlottesville full of 50 drinking/drunk guys singing “Landlord!” and various other drinking songs.
