Twenty-three out of forty-eight states were disgusted and tried to bring alcohol back into their lives. Some men called "bootlegs" snuck alcohol drinking by making alcohol in their bathtubs and would put the alcohol in their boots.

Instead of the bars, restaurants, and nightclubs closing their service of alcohol at 2 or 3 AM, do to the festivities they will be allowed to serve alcohol until 4 AM. Owners of these facilities expect more customers to come during these extra hours, and especially because of the festival. The owner's payments will probably increase, but they won't be rich. All owners have to registor for the extra hours of service of alcohol. And their community around them has to vote, either agreeing or disagreeing wether or not to allow the facilities extra hours. The votes have to be in by January 15th. The extra hours will occur from January 17th through the 21st. The only problem is that when people drink for celebrations, they sometimes tend to become unaware of how much they are drinking and how much they already drank. Then the people become drunk which is not good at all. People will be traveling, most likely, from places to places, visiting relatives or other people. This may be unsafe for the society. Drunk drivers may cause big accidents. This is a why some bars, restaurants, and nightclubs are second guessing this opportunity. They don't want to put people's lives in danger when it isn't necassary. In my opinion of this article I would think that it is definitely an unsafe idea to keep facilities drinking hours longer. This is a time where the 18th amendment could be used and is needed for safety of the society.

It also talks about the many groups that went against alcohol such as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) or the Anti Saloon League (ASL). About half of t the United States had adopted an anti-saloon legislation (26 out of 50 states). During the 18th amendment most of the bootlegging would be done in Miami Beach, Florida. In the process of bootlegging in Miami Beach they would pretend the alcohol was fish and wrap it up in brown paper. In the late 20s' the Americans this law would soon be reapealed. In 1933 the 21st amendment repealing prohibition was made. = =<span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">TO SEE THE ARTICLE CLICK THE LINK BELOW = =<span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> = http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/miami/peopleevents/pande06.html =<span style="font-size: 160%; color: #bb0707; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> = <span style="font-size: 160%; color: #db0606; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">
