Give it up, john. There is NO dispute about the legality of the repeal of Prohibition. None. Zip. Nada.

Seriously, wouldn't a legitimate challenge to the legality of the repeal have made it to the SCOTUS by now? You remember the decision?

Me neither!

Now I've got to go to the liquor store and stock up for an 'Oscar Party'. We have a pool with a pretty hefty payout.

I'm going for two years in a row as a winner.

Funny how much Libruls like to drink and bet. LOL!

Drinking a little more this year.

1933 newsreel
The Cullen–Harrison Act, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933, authorized the sale of 3.2 percent beer (thought to be too low an alcohol concentration to be intoxicating) and wine, which allowed the first legal beer sales since the beginning of Prohibition on January 16, 1920.[18]

In 1933 state conventions ratified the Twenty-first Amendment, which repealed Prohibition. The Amendment was fully ratified on December 5, 1933. Federal laws enforcing Prohibition were then repealed .[19]

Following repeal some states continued prohibition within their own jurisdictions. Almost two-thirds of the states adopted some form of local option which enabled residents in political subdivisions to vote for or against local prohibition. For a time, 38 percent of Americans lived in areas with Prohibition.[1] By 1966, however, all states had repealed their statewide prohibition laws, with Mississippi the last state to do so
