Americans have always been a hard-drinking people, but from 1920 to 1933 the country went dry. After decades of pressure from rural Protestants such as the hatchet-wielding Carry A. Nation and organizations such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union and Anti-Saloon League, the states ratified the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Bolstered by the Volstead Act, this amendment made Prohibition law: alcohol could no longer be produced, imported, transported, or sold. This bizarre episode is often humorously recalled, frequently satirized, and usually condemned. The more interesting questions, however, are how and why Prohibition came about, how Prohibition worked (and failed to work), and how Prohibition gave way to strict governmental regulation of alcohol. This book answers these questions, presenting a brief and elegant overview of the Prohibition era and its legacy. During the 1920s alcohol prices rose, quality declined, and consumption dropped. The black market thrived, filling the pockets of mobsters and bootleggers. Since beer was too bulky to hide and largely disappeared, drinkers sipped cocktails made with moonshine or poor-grade imported liquor. The all-male saloon gave way to the speakeasy, where together men and women drank, smoked, and danced to jazz. After the onset of the Great Depression, support for Prohibition collapsed because of the rise in gangster violence and the need for revenue at local, state, and federal levels. As public opinion turned, Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised to repeal Prohibition in 1932. The legalization of beer came in April 1933, followed by the Twenty-first Amendment's repeal of the Eighteenth that December. State alcohol control boards soon adopted strong regulations, and their legacies continue to influence American drinking habits. Soon after, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The alcohol problem had shifted from being a moral issue during the century to a social, cultural, and political one during the campaign for Prohibition, and finally, to a therapeutic one involving individuals. As drinking returned to pre-Prohibition levels, a Neo-Prohibition emerged, led by groups such as Mothers against Drunk Driving, and ultimately resulted in a higher legal drinking age and other legislative measures. With his unparalleled expertise regarding American drinking patterns, W. J. Rorabaugh provides an accessible synthesis of one of the most important topics in US history, a topic that remains relevant today amidst rising concerns over binge-drinking and alcohol culture on college campuses.Binding Type: Paperback

Easy to install , very sturdy and stable. The adhesive strength is amazing. I have mine in the bathroom to make cleaning my big mirror a breeze.

SpaceAid Paper towel holder w/spray bottle
Color: Black, Color: Black
The quality of SpaceAid products are without a doubt genius and stylish. This is my second product from them and I have to say that I love each one so far. This towel holder is made of a very strong metal and has a spray bottle that fits right inside the center of it. This makes it easy to grab your paper towel and your cleaner all at once. Saving you time. I like it even more because being disabled I can’t bend down to get the cleaner under the sink sometimes, so having it right where I can grab it is such a convenience.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who likes to have things neat and organized.

Not all that it seems unfortunately
Color: Black
I want to say how much I love this concept, if only it worked. The paper towel holder is very sturdy and well made, but the spray bottle does not work and when trying to contact the seller, the phone number listed does not work. The only way it seems to resolve this is to return the item which after drilling holes in my wall, I really do not want to, I just wish there was a way to get a working spray bottle as that was part of the appeal, but again there is no way to contact them. It would seem like a great value if only it worked.
sent an email on their site and they responded quickly and are sending me another one. I may update my review once I receive it.
