Happy New Beer's Eve

Today is New Beer's Eve. Sit back and enjoy a bottle or two of suds the brown stuff.

For over a decade (1920-1933), beer and alcohol were banned in the United States. This ban 

was set in place by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. The 18th Amendment failed miserably. 

It was largely ignored. Millions of people turned to making their own bathtub beer and 

made alcohol in homemade stills. Bootleg beer and alcohol, much if which was smuggled in 

from Canada, caused the loss of millions of dollars in potential tax revenues.

The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment. It took effect at 12:01a.m on April 7, 1933. 

On the evening of April 6th, anxious Americans lined up at breweries and distilleries to purchase

legal beer and alcohol at the stroke of midnight. That night, someone coined the 

term "New Beer's Eve", and a new annual holiday was born! 

So enjoy New Beers' Eve... But, .....Please do so responsibly.

Drinker's Lament

Sitting in a bar

On Saturday morning

It's not yet 12

Is that a warning?

I'm drinking coffee

But soon something stronger

There's a gnawing in my gut

An alcoholic hunger

Scattered all around

are people just Like me

Sad, lonely souls

Drowning in a booze-filled sea

Some are eating breakfast

It disguises their craving

Legitimising existence

It's only their face-saving

Young people made old

By the bottle

Looking to meet their maker

And get there at full throttle

So cheers to you all

My comrades in drink

Raise all our glasses

Give A bloodshot wink
