In the early days of the nation, men drink cider and beer all day long. But as hard whiskey becomes increasingly affordable and saloons turn more and more drunks into the gutter, America seems to have become a nation of drunkards.

On January 16, 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment goes into effect, making it illegal to manufacture, transport or sell liquor. As millions of law-abiding Americans become lawbreakers overnight, enforcement of the law is almost impossible.

The hypocrisies and consequences of Prohibition have become impossible to ignore. To many the law itself has come to be the greatest threat to American families. In 1933, the country has finally had enough and repeals the 18th Amendment.
