National Repeal Day – December 5, 2020
Back In 1933, Following The Signing Of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, The USA Ended Its 13-year Experiment With The Increasingly Unpopular Nationwide Prohibition Of Alcohol, Meaning Yay, It’s National Repeal Day On December 5! If You Enjoy Drinking, Then This Is A Great Opportunity To Celebrate Your Legal Right To Drink It. While Popular Opinion Tends To Suggest That Prohibition Failed, It Did Succeed In Cutting Overall Alcohol Consumption In Half During The 1920S (Although That Also Meant Tax Revenues From Alcohol Were Gone). Giving A Dangerous, Flapper-style Edge To The Consumption Of Alcohol In Illegal Speakeasies Also May Have Contributed To A Whole Cult Around Alcohol Consumption, Further Glamorizing It. And If There’s One Thing We Really Like When We’re Consuming Alcohol, It’s An Element Of Glamor! So If You Own Any Flapper-style Costumes, This Is The Time To Pull It Out…
Why We Love National Repeal Day
1. It’s The Only Holiday Written In Our Constitution
The Repeal Of The 18Th Amendment Is The Only National Holiday Written Into Our Constitution, Following Passage Of The 33Rd Amendment In 1933. That Means You’re Actually Doing Your Patriotic Duty By Celebrating It, Which Is One Of Many Good Excuses You Can Use For Showing Up Bleary-eyed For Work Tomorrow Morning!
2. Flapper Wear Is Dope
Flappers Were Women Known For Their Unconventional Style And Behavior, With Their Own Hairstyles And Ways Of Dressing Such As Short Skirts (Gasp!). We Love The Flapper Look, And Are Inspired By The Feminist And Empowering Messages That Go With It. Men Also Dressed Way Better In The 1920S, Including Suspenders And Pinstripe Suits.
3. Alcohol Can Be Nice Nice
To Be Honest, We Enjoy Consuming Alcohol In All Its Forms. Apart From The Relaxing Effect, We’re Suckers For Those Articles Saying Drink A Glass Of Red Wine Because It Helps Reduce Your Risk Of Developing Heart Disease, Stroke, And Diabetes. So That’s Three Glasses Of Red Wine We’re Allowed To Drink, Right There, Just For Its Health Benefits. And Then There Are Cocktails... We Also Love Cocktails. And Beer. Beer Is...Also Great.
