Happy 21st Amendment day!
On this day in 1933, our nation celebrated the end of prohibition with the ratification of the 21st Amendment repealing the 18th Amendment. It was a sobering experience.
Lift a glass to celebrate the freedom whether you are American or not

Btw any one think it is weird that you now have to be 21 to drink and the amendment to overturn prohibition was 21?

A man after my own heart!
Sam Adams was the man (and the beer kicks ass as well). Of course, you could also call him one of the first terrorists. It's all about perspective.
