Happy 75th. Have a Drink.

Today is the 75th anniversary of the end of prohibition. Prohibition officially ended at 5:32 p.m. EST on December 5, 1933, after Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st amendment that officially repeal the 18th amendment. Thanks Utah!!

Utah??? Really? I never would have guessed that.

Happy anniversary everyone. Guess I should have one or two beers after dinner tonight.

Also, if you are like the paranormal stuff, today is also the anniversary of the day that a flight of torpedo-bombers, Flight 19, disappeared while flying through the Bermuda Triangle.

Have a drink of Rye Whisky. America's favorite. The one George Washington made at Mount Vernon. It was never able to make a comeback after prohibition.

This is the reason men don't have so much hair on their chests anymore.
