[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 2982097, member: 41761"] During Prohibition, moonshiners souped up their cars in order to evade the Police as they went to sell their product. A direct result of this was the sport of NASCAR (multi billion dollar industry). Some of the second and tertiary effects of prohibition were good, reduction in consumption of booze by almost 1/3 on a permanent basis from pre-prohibition levels. It also popularized tequila in the United States, ended the great sausage party, Speakeasies were integrated with both men and women, allowing the female gender to join the party for the first time. Bars without women are depressing and scary in one way or another. created cocktail hour and cocktail parties and the demand for barware and all the other terms and practices and amenities for drinking at home and entertaining at home with cocktails, who doesn't enjoy a good cocktail party? No, I fully appreciate your point Dave, just thought I might toss in s bit of levity this morning. [URL]http://www.alcademics.com/2008/12/the-upsides-of-prohibition.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
