If prohibition was reinstated how would your life change?

I would build a secret underground pipeline across the border Then I'd watch my bank account grow and laught :cross:

 

[MeatyPortion]

I'd do like my great-grandfather did and brew beer anyway. He was a cop. In New York. And he pwned prohibition.

 

[jezter6]

Mead and Cider all the way.

Could I live without beer - maybe.
Could I live with no alcohol in any form - never.

 

[TxBrew]

Get much more involved in Politics and Campaigning.

 

[macabra11]

Bootleg for sure. Stock up on lots and lots of ammo and firearms. There are TWO things you would have to pry from my cold dead hands.

 

[Parker36]

Get my medical-alcohol card

we are in the beginnings of the prohibition... the difference is this time you ask?

They are targeting your money instead. The inability to pay nothing but your bills prevents you from buying anything related to luxeries.

Tabacco taxes, more alcohol taxes, hell taxes in general are going up.


We need another boston tea party.

Beings that I live a few minutes from French Lick IN, which was made famous because movie stars and liquor runners could go there without getting busted, I feel morally obligated to brew under the table. As long as I have a couple starters in the fridge and a fruity/malty/sugary liquid in the grocery store, I'll be alright.

I thought French Lick was made famous by Larry Bird...wasn't he the hick from French Lick?

I would move to Europe.

 

[Beernik]

I would buy sugar and brewer's yeast and set up a still.

 

[EdWort]

It would solve my unemployment problem.

 

[menschmaschine]

Seriously, I'd be with the rest of you who would move to Europe. Good luck to those of you Americans who can't get visas. I happen to be married to someone who has one of these:

Rum Runnin and Speak Easies would be the name of the game. throw in a brothel and a gambling hall and call me Capone

During the last prohibition wine for religious purposes was legal whether made at home or in wineries.
I'd open a church. Something like Our lady of the Blessed Barley.


Volstead Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[QUOTE =] Section 29 of the Act allowed 200 gallons (the equivalent of about 1000 75 cl bottles) of "non-intoxicating cider and fruit juice" to be made each year at home. Initially "intoxicating" was defined as anything more than 0.5%, but the Bureau of Internal Revenue soon struck that down and this effectively legalized home wine-making. Some vineyards embraced the sale of grapes for making wine at home; Zinfandel grapes were popular among home winemakers living near the vineyards, but its tight bunches left their thin skins vulnerable to rot, due to rubbing and abrasion, on the long journey to East Coast markets. The thick skins of Alicante Bouschet were less susceptible to rot, so this and similar varieties were widely planted for the home wine-making market. [/QUOTE]
