    Funny fact: Carrie Nation didn't use a hatchet until her husband made a joke about it. After smashing a few saloons with just rocks, Mr. Nation jokingly told his wife she should use a hatchet to do maximum damage to the places. And Carrie told him, "That is the most sensible thing you have said since I married you."

    A fact about the moonshine stuff: during prohibition, many moonshine runners had tuned up cars to outrun the police. After prohibition, they had no need to run from the police to sell it, so they started racing each other for money and respect. In 1948, a group of men got together in a hotel at Daytona Beach to establish a sanctioning body for these early stock car racing events. That sanctioning body became what we call NASCAR

    In my home town, Cincinnati Ohio, there is a bar named after Carrie Nation called "Nations" (the door handles into the bar/grill are hatchets). It describes her movement and what she stood for. But the best thing i can say is what she said when arriving there. She said, "I would have dropped from exhaustion before I had gone a block." due to the amount of saloons on one of the streets, and not being able to hatchet everything. It's ironic of her fighting against alcohol and then having a bar named after many years later. And those wondering, yes the food and drinks were delicious there.

    My paternal grandparents made beer and wine in their basement. Well, actually, my grandmother made the beer and wine from recipes passed down through her family. My grandfather owned a produce store so he could supply my grandmother whatever she needed. The local ice cream truck driver supplied the empty root beer bottles for my grandmother to bottle the beer and wine in. My dad recalled hearing “pop-pop-pop” noises at 1 AM from the beer bottles that were over-carbonated.
    It was a great business model. My grand father could write off whatever produce was used as spoilage, the ice cream man sold adult root beer as well as kids root beer so everything was listed as root beer. No doubt they supplied some local speakeasies. My grandmother even had a potato beer recipe.

Eventually the parents can trust you enough to basically not have a curfew.

    * He gave lavish parties where he gave away cars to the guests
    * The agent that had an affair with his wife... was his cellmate (the agent was working undercover)
    * The only amount of money he got back from his millionaire fortune, from his wife, were 100 dollars
    * His wife and the former agent turned lover hired a hitman to kill him; the hitman told Remus of the plot instead.
    * He was committed to an asylum, since he was supposedly crazy. He got out in less than a year, though.

    Extra info: The reason that many doctors started prescribing small amounts of alcohol was to treat the MASSIVE number of alcohol withdrawal cases that were pouring into their offices. For more info, look up the symptoms of delirium tremens . Bitters became popular around this time as a way of bypassing the prohibition laws. They had juuuuust enough alcohol content when added to a drink to stave off the tremors.

Although there was some smuggling and home brewing and recentment how wealthy could just ignore rules. And there wasn’t tax income from alcohol.
