Let's Celebrate!!!

Today, back in 1933, was a grand day...that's right, today is repeal day. Today is the day that the 21st Amendment was ratified, killing off the 18th Amendment. For those of you that are still not exactly sure what I'm talking about, here's a short history:
The 18th Amendment, which was taken into effect on January 17, 1920 basically said no more drinking. It was the dark ages. The prohibition of alcohol. Well, 13 years and some odd months later, they got their senses back in them and decided to repeal this Amendment and start drinking again. It took nearly a year (from February to December) to ratify the 21st Amendment yet the 18th Amendment took less than a month. The 18th Amendment is to date the only Amendment that was repealed! 
Newspapers went nuts.

People all over America raised their glasses and toasted anything and everything.



So today I wish you a happy celebration. I raise my glass to you and say Cheers!
