Why celebrate today

Today, pull out the wine cork or unscrew the cap, sip an ardent spirit or open up an ice-cold brewski — responsibly and in  moderation, of course — but celebrate by all means. Yes, tipplers,  sippers, imbibers and connoisseurs of all stripes, this is  your day. For on this day, in 1933 (75 years ago if you’re  counting) a terrible federal law was repealed and Prohibition ended. So, stand up and cheer, run around the room laughing, sit down again we will tell you how Prohibition began, ran its course and, mercifully, ended.
