Prohibition was enacted in 1919 in a misguided attempt to protect the people of America from themselves . . . more specifically alcoholism, crime, poverty and mental illness.
Within a matter of a few years it was obvious that Prohibition wasn't working as nosie-body do-gooders had intended . . . laws only effect people who obey them. Criminals will continue to commit crimes . . . like rum running, boot legging, bathtub gin making, moonshining and speak easying (yeah, I made that word up). Anyone who truly wants or needs to consume alcohol will find a way . . . heck, people nowadays are drinking hand sanitizer in the hopes of catching a buzz.
So, how will I be celebrating the repeal of this abomination of a constitutional amendment? Drinking a beer and a pickle shot!
Om nom nom.
