  • Not quite the end of Prohibition. Low alcohol beer got a head start before the repeal of the Volstead Act. We still get to look forward to an all out drunkfest for the actual 75th anniversary of Repeal Day on December 5!

  • It's an interesting theory, but let's really think about it for a minute. A world without legalized alcohol would have eventually lead to people living their lives without it. Now we have countless health care issues and deaths because of booze. By saying that legalizing pot is going to lead to this magical land of rainbows and unicorns is flat out crazy! Keep vigilant and support people who find treatment at a marijuana rehab facility.
