Happy Beers Day!

Monday, April 7th, 2003

On this date in 1933, beer-makers nationwide fired up their breweries again for the first time in 13 years. Today marks the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the end of Prohibition (the 21st Amendment was officially ratified on December 5).

So be sure to celebrate your freedom with an after-work beer this evening.

Then offer an optimistic, two-pronged toast that:

a) alcohol prohibition never returns,

and,

b) our other prohibition sees a swift demise.
