"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a
species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of
reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation,
and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law
strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was
founded." -- Abraham Lincoln, December 18, 1840.

I know we toast Jimmy Carter for the ability to home
brew, but lest not
forget the repeal of Prohibition, today, December 6 in 1933. Cheers.
