The boys at Spur Gastropub in Seattle published a link to your site and I am so glad to see others promoting Repeal Day so that it can finally be recognized as one of our greatest (if not *the* greatest) U.S. holiday. I’m currently celebrating by posting a series on the oldest bars in Seattle to the http://seattletwist.com blog.

Cheers,
Pete

Please see the parallel between alcohol prohibition and the current drug prohibition. Drug prohibition is just as unfair and deadly. Please repeal it.

Just found your excellent website when searching for a good ginger beer recipe. As a homebrewer in juneau alaska I’ve found your suggestions and complimentary links especially invigorating and served with that special bit o’ flair. Just a note on repeal day: we’ve been celebrating for years now (all through college and the aftermath) and are proud to say our homestate of maryland is well on the way of possibly making this a national holiday (not really). But truthfully we’ve gotten stories from our friends who have carried on the torch to their own places of settlement.
As theme-party geeks we used to go all out by making our 1930’s home look the part of a barbershop closed for the night, making the partygoers enter from the back door, going to the local vintage store and dressing the part, a bathtub full of gin, and plenty of jazz and blues and our pool table in full use.
It was always the best party of the year and I am glad to see public references to its existence.
thanks!

On your main page you stated that Repeal Day is the only holiday that celebrates a law that guarantee our rights, but that is not correct.

December 15th is Bill of Rights day.

It has been around since 1941. It celebrates “All of the Bill of Rights for all Citizens” It’s also a Presidentially declared holiday.

I wanted to make a few handouts to educate those we may encounter on our crawl around Birmingham. May I have permission to use some of your graphics? I love the banners.

inflated sense of ego from holding a firearm or speaking in public?

Are you for real? If someone dares speak up or owns a firearm they are just stroking their ego according to you?

Insane.. but then again.. drunks are like that.

Thank You Jeff

Hope you had a great time in Manhattan.

I did my part here in Indianapolis. I looked at my Cocktail book collection and picked my 1930 “World Drinks and How To Mix Them” by Cocktail Bill Boothby. Grabbed a few friends and off we went to spread the word……
Everywhere we went we picked drinks out of the book with some great results. I also found a new favorite watering hole.
Win Win Win

Next year. The big 75th

Now on to the next holliday’s.
To all a Marry Christmas and a Liquid new year.

I want a way for a teetotaller to celebrate Repeal Day.

After all, the social pressure to drink alcohol was never higher than during Prohibition, and the amount of drunkenness was never higher. So I certainly approve of the end of Prohibition.

But I’m not about to celebrate by drinking alcohol!

HAPPY REPEAL DAY!

Let’s not argue the petty details (although I would submit that, the repeal of prohibition re-established the right to drink free of government interference. In the U.S. we are free to do whatever we want unless the state or Federal governments pass a law restricting those rights. Some rights cannot be abridged by law, the Constitution being the highest form of law in the U.S., but that does not negate the inherent or natural rights that exist without legislation), let’s drink to the triumph of individual freedom over the well-intentioned but misguided nanny-state that was Prohibition. CHEERS!!!
