    April 7 marks the 75th anniversary of the official beginning of the end for Prohibition. On the date in 1933, legal beer production resumed in the United States, sparking celebration among brewers and imbibers alike. Historian William Rorabaugh, author of Alcoholic Republic, puts the event into historical context.

      i was wondering what this thread was about, until it dawned upon me on post #12 that you ran out of legitimate excuses to attack christians

      of course, everybody is going to change their fundamental beliefs about religion based on a two paragraph blurb on a gaming site

          Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
          The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

            The NPR article is your friend.

            VJ, I have no intention of changing anyone's mind. We all know that rarely happens. Instead it is highly amusing to rube people's faces in the stupidity of the past. Maybe, just maybe it will make them think twice before doing something stupid again.

                    Bolsheviks? Man, and I though Oerdin's false blame was ridiculous...

                          ...er, I thought prohibition was associated more strongly with the nascent feminist movement, insofar as some men tended to take the money they were supposed to use to support their wives and spend it on booze instead. Then they'd come home drunk and beat the little woman for not having dinner on the table. Religious folk helped, but then they also boosted the civil rights and abolition movements, so...?

                            The more important point is, who wasn't religious then?

                            But yes, you point out valid point. Points Oerdin obviously slept through in 8th grade history class.
