I still don't understand how that madness passed. The r-slurs went as far as to amend the Constitution to ban booze and the Volstead Act was vetoed by Wilson, only for it to be overridden by Congress, that takes a lot of determination.

Alcohol consumption is a core part of Christianity. You receive communion of wine, which is literally the blood of Christ. His Holiness the Pope was often brought wine by visiting noblemen as tribute, and he is the voice of God on this earth. Even still there are wineyards which retain the Papal name, like Chateauneuf du Pape. Jesus Christ himself drank wine, and being part man he is meant as an ideal role model for us sinners, so who am I to disobey the word of God?
And yes, before you ask, this post was made while drunk![:marseydrunk: :marseydrunk:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseydrunk.webp)

Yeah it's why there was a split among Prots from those that practiced Communion and the Eucharist like Lutherans being anti prohibition because like Catholics wine was a core part of their service whereas the Calvinist derived Prots like Baptists don't as far as I know and that's why they were more pro prohibition.

Fireball is drank exclusively by underage kids, alcoholics, and the trashiest of trashy people. It smells like death.

I think it's a self-reinforcing phenomenon. Everyone drinks it when they're underage and has a bunch of negative binge drinking experiences with it so by the time they're 21 they associate the taste with blacking out and puking.

It was common and accepted, even among puritans, to drink all day. The average puritan drank 6 gallons of pure alcohol a year, whereas today the average American drinks 2.8. The other part of that is that booze used to be nowhere near as strong, so Horace Goodfellow drinking beer all day was a lot different than Kyle Lowenballs drinking his craft 9% ipas all day

There seems to be a subset of progressives who thought prohibition was a god thing. I remember reading two articles by the same guy arguing how prohibition was good because it leave the workers safe from bad alcohols sold by the capitalists, and on another article he said it was good because women led the movement because the husbands wouldn't beat them while sober.
I really need to find out who the guy was.

Funny enough prohibition did reduce alcohol rates and crimes but increased drug trade and organized crime. Whether it was a net positive or negative is hard to tell because it created a system that was increased by the following war on drugs.

There was a minimum of 36 years between Prohibition and the war on drugs, that is plenty of time to figure it out.
