Free to Booze: The 75th Anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition

On December 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, thus ending our nation's failed experiment with Prohibition. Organized crime flourished during Prohibition, but what were the other effects of the national ban on alcohol? How and why was it repealed? Please join the Cato Institute for a celebration of the 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition and a discussion of its legacy and continuing impact on America. Drinks will be served following the discussion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
