"To Drink or Not to Drink?" This dilemma tore the United States apart for decades, until in 1919 the nation voted the 18th amendment to the constitution into law, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages.
For 13 years, “Not to Drink” was the law of the land, but the controversy continued.
In 1932, the Democratic parties candidate for president proclaimed
"We advocate their appeal of the 18th amendment."
Now, President Roosevelt in the Cabinet drill in the White House, and about to sign the long awaited Beer Bill. The President signs the Bill.
