Once again you had me laughing so hard reading your story. I am imagining a law that encouraged illegal bootlegging and the establishment of speakeasies. Well done American politics.

Cheers to the Volstead Act! Turning something hum-drum like getting drunk in a bar into something new and exciting like getting drunk in a speakeasy! Which is like a bar but with a fancy secret knock. Also, without the Volstead Act we wouldn't have The Untouchables or Boardwalk Empire. Cheers again!

Crazy, who knew that telling people something is bad and banning it would actually have the opposite effect? I hope they don't try that with drugs...
