If Jesus turned water into wine, who the hell are THEY to tell me I can't drink it?
It's one of those self-evident unalienable rights with which we were endowed by our Creator, and which no government has a right to infringe. |

I would move to a place where they have a lot of coconut palms, which can provide drinkable alcohol within about 12 hours...
Like THAILAND!!!

I would actually obey the law, but I certainly might explore other legal intoxicants for my inebritaion needs. Cocaine was still legal back then, right? How about heroin, or pot? |

Sort of like how people continued to use other drugs when they became illegal. The drugs just get more expensive and less safe. |

18th Amendment reads "... the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited."
I would of hoarded a bunch of booze. Contrary to what the pro-druggies believe, 18th Amendment doesn't outlaw posession of liquor. If you had a "pre-ban" stash of booze, you were good to go. In fact you could invite your drinking buddies over and get drunk if you wanted to as long as you dont charge them for the booze (sale). But of course, they'd be hard to find cause they all would of joined Capone's gang or something which magically appeared like mushrooms after a rain. But disregard the part where Capone was funded also by prosititution and gambling rackets. |

[/shudder] I know there wasn't TV back then and people went to bed when the sun went down, but ugh. ETA: I have brewed ale/beer and made wine when it was legal to buy. I would have had the carboys burping nonstop. |

I would have made millions smuggling it in from Canada..............
And then I would have inserted my family into American politics, so that they could make MORE things illegal, and MORE money off of the resulting corrupion.. Stupid laws are good for Bidness............and government.................. |

And I would point out that to make drugs illegal the way they have done requires a constitutional amendment -- but these days they don't bother. |

I don't know what bathtub gin tastes like, and I'm not too sure I want to know.
 Other than the fact that I don't think I would be able to stand drinking homemade booze back then I would drink it. |

Something to think about:
THEY BANNED FRIGGIN' ALCOHOL AT ONE TIME!!! Some do-gooder, self-righteous fucks (Carrie Nation and her ilk) forced their values on everyone at that time. A freaking beer was immoral in their eyes, and so it became ILLEGAL. And they went so far as to make it a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT!!! Gee, it could never happen with guns, could it........?

At least they had the decency to pass a Constitutional amendment. Look how guns are banned left and right these days, not an amendment in sight.... save the 2nd amendment... which ought to preclude that.
WTF???  God bless the Constitution, but it's little more than a museum piece these days. |

I don't care enough about drinking to go out of my way to break the law. If somebody's offering, fine, I'll have a drink. Am I going to sneak around to obtain it? Not really, it doesn't bother me to go without.

Actually, you can purchase a limited edition bottle at the distillery that is only sold there. There was a special rule passed to allow that. Otherwise, you can only buy empty bottles in the county. I bought one of the Gold Medal bottles signed by the master distiller about 5 years ago when I visited. It is worth almost $200 now. BTW, my county in West TN doesn't allow liquor sales at all, and beer can only be sold in gas stations, and not on Sunday.
