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

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. Thank You Jeff

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! I want a way for a teetotaller to celebrate 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!!! HAPPY REPEAL DAY!

I agree with your argument that Prohibition still exists in the United States, and I feel I should mention that this celebration is not limited to the alcohol industry. I, a bartender, started this celebration as a way to enlighten Americans about the years this country spent in a very dark time, a time that should be remembered today.

You probably haven't heard of him. December 5th seems like a fitting date for a campaign donation to the candidate YOU think best defends your liberty. Maybe one who understands and cares that taxpayers' money is being wasted on the new Prohibition, the war on drugs. One who realizes that the solution that is far worse than the problem, and always has been. Just like Prohibition. Celebrate alcohol prohibition, and do something about full prohibition.
