Repeal Day is a great idea! What better reason to celebrate with a couple of cocktails to mark the event! I’ll go with the others to promote it as a new public holiday.

I love the idea of a Repeal Day holiday. We have a couple of holidays just for us down here in key west like Fantasy Fests and we can always come up with a good reason to drink every day ;) but Yes, I’m with you Jeffrey, I’ll start doing my part to promote Dec. 5 Repeal Day as a national holiday.

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.
