  75 Year Anniversary: Toast To The End Of Prohibition December 5th, 2008 Posted by Hunter Wilson

  Prohibition was in effect from 1920-1933 when the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution made it illegal to sell, manufacture or transport alcoholic beverages.  Of course there were ways to get alcoholic beverages if the need be -  bootleggers transported the alcohol illegally and consumption was often at speakeasies that were controlled by the likes of Al Capone. On December 5, 1933, Utah became the thirty-sixth and deciding state to ratify the 21st Amendment, ending Prohibition and making it legal for us to transport, buy and consume alcoholic beverages. December 5th, 2008 (Repeal Day) marks the 75th anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition - if you’re imbibing this day you might want to raise a glass and celebrate. Cheers!
