The End of Prohibition–Let’s Party!

Seventy-nine years ago today, Prohibition ended. The historic date–December 5, 1933–came when Utah, that majority-Mormon, anti-alcohol state, became the 36th state to ratify the 21st amendment that repealed the 18th amendment. To be honest, many if not most cities and states had quit trying to enforce Prohibition years earlier. It was too costly and too impossible.
