Many Scottish settlers came to the southern USA and brought their Scotch whisky making skills to the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky. They changed from using predominantly barley to the much more widely available corn, rye, and wheat and Bourbon was born.
I'm not against alcohol or anything. But I did quit drinking on my 39th birthday, and in the 4 years since then I've accomplished more with my life and saved more money than I ever did in the previous 20 years.

I've bounced back and forth between Wisconsin and Minnesota over the years, and it's crazy how different the liquor laws are with states next to each other. For the longest time Minnesota banned liquor sales on Sunday and all you could get was 3.2 light. In Wisconsin you can get whisky any day of the week even in gas stations. 3.2 is awful, no buzz all bloated after a 12 pack
A single-minded zealot, Ohio's Wayne Wheeler, headed the Anti-Saloon League. He hated alcohol with a passion, and devoted his life to seeing it completely outlawed, whatever the consequences. He remains one of the most successful single-issue pressure figures in U. S. history.
It was only about 10 or 15 years ago that I found out one of my grandfathers really was a bootlegger. Dad always used to joke about it - I thought. Then my older brother got to reminiscing, and yep, Grandpa had a still somewhere in Forest Park here in Portland, OR. It's a huge wilderness park, but still,*in* the city. Completely surrounded by the 50s, but a lot is still old growth forest. On weekends the older kids would drive to dances on the coast, and sell bottles out of the car trunk. Completely stunned, here. Nearly laughed my head off. The disadvantages of being 11 years younger than your brother and missing the good stories!
Massachusetts had dry Sunday's until 2014 if not mistaken, and still has some dry towns such as Melrose, Mass. where only two beers per person can be sold in a restaurant, but no bars or liquor stores in the town.
If I recall Mass had a law about not serving alcohol before noon on a Sunday with the exception of brunch service, and not coincidentally the Red Sox had made their Sunday afternoon starting times at 2:05pm instead of 1:05 for this reason. I think when pressed, they stated it was to allow for Sunday church services etc. but if the game was at 1pm instead the surrounding bars without food service could only make an hour of pregame revenue. Currently the law is no longer in effect, and the Sox have shifted their Sunday start times to 1:35pm.
I was stationed in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and there were only two ways to get alcohol. The first was to be invited to spend your day off with a family in "A Town". That's what we called the area where all the American and European contractors lived and they all had stills. It was rare to get that invite. The second and much easier route was to befriend a British soldier because they had some kind of alcohol allotment and got provided beer on the regular basis. Now that I think about it the British soldiers used to party like a mofo.
Btw I know the Towns by Dollywood that you’re talking about, cause I live about 45 mins from there. They were one of the first towns in the country to sell Moonshine. Ok not real real moonshine but 120 proof moonshine. It’s taken a drastic 180 degree turn in the last 10 years. When I first turned 21 I had to drive to Knoxville to get liquor. Now my small town has 3 liquor stores in it. They do close at 9pm on Sunday but 10-11pm the rest of the days
Yeah idk if if it’s state law or more local but where I live you can only buy liquor from ABC stores, ABC stores are also closed completely on sundays & on sundays can’t buy any alcohol before 10am which was just recently reduced as for a long time it was until after 12. Kinda beat the other week I walked into a store at like 9:30am on a Sunday to buy a case of beer as I was ab to drive out to get on a boat w friends & then had to just wait another 30 mins, as if that did anything but inconvenience me
A really good movie that encapsulated the prohibition era was the 1975 version of The Great Gatsby. Also, the concept of the mixed drink, or cocktail, came out during prohibition, due to how bad tasing home made alcohol was, so people mixed it with other things to make it more palatable.
I don’t drink and I never have. I don’t understand why people can’t fathom having a good time without it. I actually think it’s weirder to feel like you do need it just to enjoy yourself.
Not to mention the VAST number of innocent people KILLED by drunk drivers, the spouses and children abused by alcoholic men/women, men having to put up with the nastiness of hung-over coworkers, etc.
If you need it to enjoy yourself that's addiction. That's not most people who drink lol. Yes, you can have a great night without alcohol, but you can enhance it a lot if you do have a few drinks. Everything in moderation. There's a reason humans have been making alcoholic drinks for at least 12,000 years...
Sorry, Mich Ultra is my go to these days, yeah I like my water with a kick. In my town you can't buy alcohol on Sundays until 10 am. We all know, so not a problem. Stock up for that barbecue on Saturday.
The Volstead Act had many weird loopholes. Alcohol was still allowed in religious rites, so some churches/temples sold it under the table. Beers of certain types were under the stated percentage and were legal - the ban mainly went after higher percentage alcohol.
I live in the state of Utah in the USA. This state has some odd rules that the rest of the states don't. Since I'm a recovered alcoholic (since 2002) I can't remember all the oddball rules Utah has, but I believe that hard liquor must be purchased from a state-run liquor store. Beer can be purchased at grocery stores or gas station convenience stores. At least, that's what the rules used to be.
That's how Washington State is as well. Hard liquor: vodka, whiskey, rum is sold at a government store where you put in your SS# for purchase; but beer/wine you can buy at a grocery store or gas station.
Drinking is bad if not done in moderation. Don't get me wrong, I love a good drink, and I relate to those Arkansans you met as I'm an Arkansan myself, and my favorite thing to do when visiting other places is to try the local craft beers. I also love a nice Kentucky Bourbon, benit straight or in an old fashioned. I've seen alcoholism destroy people though. Doesn't by any means mean that it should be illegal, however people need to educate each other and encourage responsible drinking.
The strongest argument historically at the time I believe, which the video mentioned, came from the Womens’ movement and their concerns with men frequently committing domestic abuse and also wasting all the family’s money. A quick google says 40-60% of domestic violence involve substance abuse, the majority of which is alcohol. Couple that with the amount of other violence, drunk driving etc. the results are grim. I drink myself sometimes and I’m certainly not against alcohol, but the reasons for wanting it banned are powerful for sure.
I watch a lot of UK and European Reaction channels. Everytime alcohol or its prohibition comes up, they all just come alive. Their continent is going to hell in a handbasket, and they are just all "carry on chaps", but you mention their booze and they go ballistic. lol. I guess thats how they see us Americans and our guns. haha!
I have not drank alcohol since the late 1970’s. Alcohol started taking over my life and threatened my marriage. Some people can have a beer or two and are fine, that’s ok, others like me, drink a couple beers, then a couple more, then a few more yet, whiskey? yeah cause by then I’m out of beer and the next thing you know, I wake up not knowing what I did and sometimes how I got there or even where I am and everyone’s all PO’d at me. I, as a none drinker don’t care if someone drinks as long as they have a driver to take them home.
I owned a bar in Indiana in the 70 s and women couldn’t sit at the bar alone and if you moved from a table the waitress or waiter had to move your drinks also you couldn’t stand with a drink 😂
Guys I don’t wanna try and bring up funny stuff but it’s unbelievable to me how you haven’t reacted to Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington stuff, please try one vid at least, cheers!
A real Conservative Christian wouldn't care and would even have a glass of wine and gamble a bit, because those aren't sins. The Puritan/Catholic/hypocritical Protestant recessive culture that stormed the US is what caused all of that. I don't have a problem with alcohol consumption, gambling, and having a grand ol time, but it's not for everybody. If I had the money to be a gambling addict, I would. Glad I'm not.
There's an old Speakeasy here, they had a club upstairs, and dug a hole downstairs into a cave system to distill alcohol. They still have the cave open with a bar now lol.
UAE will arrest you for drinking, even though it's legal for foreigners. They'll arrest you for being drunk, even if you're not and aren't driving. Unless you're famous or very rich, don't drink in ANY Muslim dominant country.

We still have some dry towns and dry counties. Some states only sell alcohol at state regulated/controlled package liquor stores.
Great reaction, I love these kind of reactions. Oversimplified does a great version of this.
