..TODAY is the 74th anniversary of the REPEAL of Prohibition ! The newspaper (double-full-page!) ad I'm looking at, from Dewars, states that, in an apparent 1933 article : "To honor the 21st Amendment (repealing Prohibition in most states), many begin their celebrations at 21:00 hours, or 9PM." 21st Amendment= 21:00 hours . Repeal Day party hosts insist that their guests' first drink be a nonalcoholic beverage so that everyone might remember the dry days of Prohibition. Three hours later, at midnite(!), it made sense to take a moment to pause and reflect as a group". I've got about 10 minutes to go, before 9:00 ! Skoal/salud/prost/cheers/le heim(sp), everyone!
