The 'war on drugs' has been just about as successful as Prohibition. It simply created a huge and dangerous black market. Remember paraquat pot?
one way to create a solution is to create a problem
I know you’re joking as the American government brings in as much if not more cocaine and heroin than any other syndicate, criminal or not. There’s no true war against drugs, it’s more of a war on who can profit the most.
Exactly.
TWOD is even worse because Prohibition was actually driven by the desire of everyday people to combat the scourge of drunkenness. Nixon and his allies conceived TWOD as a weapon against political opponents and played up drug-related crime as an excuse for endless disruption of those communities.
That war on drugs does only be prohibition 2.0 anyway *. . .*

Your facts on how moonshine is made is wrong. Bathtub hooch and Moonshine are two completely different animals. Moonshine is clean alcohol made from scratch in a still.
Yep 👍
From grain, often corn. AKA White Lightning. High octane stuff. Pure grain alcohol.
Oh thank God, I was hoping to find this comment. When I heard his explanation for moonshine my thought was, "Wait, do you actually BELIEVE that? Or are you just trolling?"
When I was about 13 I found this sealed bottle of clear liquid in one of the cabinets in my house. So I asked my parents what it was. They said it’s rice wine. And then told me who made it and all, I didn’t really care as I never drank until I was 21. Yet, one day here comes my narcissistic mother, “Did you drink some of that rice wine?” Remember, I was 13. I said no, I haven’t even looked at it. Can you imagine how that shit would affect a kid that age who’d never drank a drop of alcohol?? I’d most likely end up in the ER.
I'm pretty sure the police cant tell the difference in the middle of a moonshine race.
It's like the whole of America had a hangover some people said "I'm never drinking again" and others just doubled down
Government: Ideas so good they have to be mandatory, and severely hurting people that don't follow the arbitrary edicts.
There are two kinds of laws that the government can enforce: Those laws that protect innocent people by retaliating against those who initiate force against others, and those that harm innocent people by initiating force and violating individuals' freedom to choose how to run their own lives. The first kind of law is morally good; the second is morally wrong. Prohibition was the second kind. So are all business regulations beyond the prohibition of murder, assault, enslavement, theft and fraud. If people want a second check by experts on the safety/quality of a product or service, they can turn to private certification agencies.
Makes you think twice about the vaccine, don't it?
@@SwordOfApollo self-harm is also a thing. But take into account that drug abusers (such as alcohole abusers) by becoming addicted lose control over their life and may become violent or start stealing to afford their daily doses. So there is indirectly harm to others too. So it is not as straight forward as you think. If freedom was our only goal there is no reason why we wouldn't kill people.

I find it deliciously ironic that a prohibition law was penned by a man whose name contained not one, but two key ingredients used in the fermentation of alcohol.
John Barley Corn wasn't a real man.
What lol he is a fake folk character made specifically for that reason
John Barleycorn is an allegorical figure, a fictitious bad character concocted by fundamentalist anti drink religious fanatics related to the Puritans on the mid 17th century. These creatures banned christmas, dancing, merriment, and any joyful aspect of life. They hated Catholics. The Volkstead act was probably the biggest social mistake in american history and gave rise to the rise of the Mafia. A similar mistake is being made by the "war on drugs". It is OK for the state to mandate the sale and distribution of methadone and other legal opiods but jailed users of heroin without any sense of irony. This prohibitory nonsense still goes on to the eternal misery of the lower classes and the enrichment of modern drug dealers.

So you might think, *"But how would methanol poisoning be treated?"* and that's a very fun question to answer!
Firstly one should know that methanol uses the same metabolisis route as ethanol but due to some unfortunate reactions methanol turns into formaldehyde, which isn't all that pleasing especially to your eyes. As your eyes are mostly water, they are a nice place for formaldehyde to concentrate first in. This causes usually irreversible blindness, but if you aren't quick you'll lose your life too! That's why you have to start consuming some real ethanol, because ethanol is more eager to be metabolized than methanol and thus stops methanol from being turned into formaldehyde. And here's where the fun starts! Drinking simply isn't quick enough to stop the production of formaldehyde so ethanol has to be given straight into your blood!
Datsa good to know info.... Thanks mate.
Always drink moonshine with a loaded syringe of ethanol nearby. Got it.
That was actually very interesting. 🍻
Where is the ethanol I cant see
Huh, House MD was wrong. In one episode he got an inmate with methanol poisoning drunk by making him drink lots of whiskey.
I've always wondered how homemade alcohol made you blind. What were the makers doing to distilled liquor? It didn't check out that they were drinking too much, so was it bad ingredients? Improper bottling techniques? That seemed most likely, but I never got around to looking it up. Thanks for the info!
And after that the American government definitely learned their lesson and didn’t ban any other substances because it understood the repercussions that would come from that... 👀
Lol 😉
I have a feeling you are being sarcastic give me a sarcastic answer if you are
Nope, they keep right on banning things and trying to control everything,
@@massmike11
And yet the party that banned alcohol in the first place was Republicans, against veto by President Wilson. They literally poisoned alcohol knowing that it would kill people if they thought it wasn’t poisoned.
So legally withholding guns from people unfit to own them is different in that there’s an actual regard for life, and that the people who aren’t fit to own guns simply aren’t allowed to have them.
@@topsecret1837 your point being?
Moonshine is made with corn mash. It’s different from bathtub gin
Right, bathtub gin is not moonshine.
Absolutely, Moonshine is corn liquor, cooked from scratch and distilled by the moonshiner.
Bathtub gin, on the other hand, isn't even gin in the first place. It is merely an attempt to make some form of paint thinner almost palatable.
Bathtub gin is not moonshine, but yes, real moonshine is made with corn mash and also fruits as well.
@@grimd8788 100% agree.
Did people just not want to make alcohol themselves or were they too impatient or didn't know how?
"I thought it was guns and eagles" good one😂
So true though
@@SirPancake1 indeed
To be fair, for most of history it was safer to drink alcohol than water.

The temperance movement were the original Karens
Right after they started voting...
Nah that would be the Puritans
Karens tend to like their mommy/superiority juice. I doubt it was Karens.
The documentary about the prohibition by Ken Burns relates that there is a definite connection between votes for women and the passing of the Volkstead act in 1919. Just at this time many men of voting age were still in France post the 1st World War and were not able to vote. The original intention of the amendment was sold to many voters as a prohibition on strong liquors such as whiskey and brandy. Most reasonable people did not think that wines and beers would be included in the prohibition. To the horror of many the limit was set to 0.5% ABV, a ridiculously low level considering that most beers run at 5% and wines at around 10% ABV.
It can be argued that if the anti-drink faction had compromised at 5 or 10% they would have sustained partial alcohol prohibition right into modern times. Another ironic result of prohibition was that strong liquors, such as whiskey, Gin, Brandy and vodka became very popular in the US because they were easy to carry and hide.
Prohibition is often cited as an example of passing aspirational laws which many people, often a significant minority, have no intention of keeping. It is one of the drawbacks of relying on untrammelled democracy and unbridled dominance of one faction over the wishes or deeply held beliefs of a minority.
Yeah, the temperance movement failed at what it tried to do, if it succeeded, then it would be a very good thing because alcohol is a very serious problem and it won’t just be solved by making it illegal. People need to become more moral in general and alcohol use will fall.
Yet they keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. You can not ban your way to utopia. No matter how authoritarian you get, the deeper the issue is hidden and embedded. Many parts of Asia has the death penalty for drugs, but people still do drugs. The laws around many things do more harm than the thing they try to control or ban.

Very much so. Also changed how I see video titles.
What’s with the lowercasing? You a furry or something?
This also birthed "stock car" or nascar today from the moonshiners driving their cars raoidly through forests without any light on at all. The drivers where petrolheads and startet racing their stock cars and started tweaking them to make them go fatter. Then a raceseries was born
...and Dukes of Hazzard.
And not serving a beer at a race track feels weird for obvious reasons. Even if the actual drivers don't drink a single drop unless the celebratory champagne manages to get in their mouth.
And we still haven't learned our lesson that prohibition doesn't work.

Almost nothing in this video is accurate. Moonshine is made from corn mash and done in a safe manner.
Women pushed for prohibition right when they got the vote. They get men to speak for them just like today.
You can do your own research.
Your daily reminder that no law is insignificant enough that the government won’t kill you to enforce it.
There’s a family story of one of my great grandmothers (then a senior) who was making bathtub gin when the bathtub caught on fire. The fire dept was called and she had to explain WHY the tub was on fire. No doubt they found this amusing.
The bootleggers didn't need to make the alcohol. Often they just snuck it across the Canadian border where it was still legal.
People in the south were out of luck though, wouldn't you think?
@@jayv9070 Yes, but the Baptists were (and still are) a temperance church, so many of those states were dry to start with. But they also already had a local moonshine industry, they were pretty good at it.
@@mheermance These would be the same Baptist churches that had no problem with the Klan?
Ask the Kennedys, how they made their money - booze running.
'23 Skidoo... was exactly that.
1923, Bombardier Skidoos, running whiskey across open fields in winter. It's how the Bronfman family got wealthy.
I love the obvious analogy one can make between the prohibition of alcohol of the 1920s and the prohibition of all drugs (especially weed) of the later decades leading into this century. The outcome was the same: gangs controlled the sales & distribution of these substances and became filthy rich as a result just as their 1920s gangster counterparts like Al Capone. The loopholes around both problems were also the same such as getting a prescription for alcohol like in the last couple decades we did with weed. People hid their alcohol various creative ways just as people have hid their weed in similarly creative ways! With the legalization of weed crime is going down some and if the government legalizes all drugs crime should come down even more! Passing laws against certain behaviors doesn't stop those behaviors it makes it worse by driving them underground and only makes gangsters rich! So many people have died and continue to die unnecessarily because of these laws and government interference which is the ultimate irony since they were trying to protect people in the first place! Their intentions were good but the outcome was bad. With what happened with alcohol might not have been foreseeable but once that bad outcome was the result one would think they'ed learn their mistake and not repeat it with other forbidden substances.
They don't learn anything. They just double down on their ideas.
Lolberts still think the ‘war’ on drugs is serious
The cautionary tale what happens when you allow moral busybodies gain political power. Something people should be very weary of today.
Yes because clearly all the amoral one are doing so well.
@@haltjagged7783 the video showed that the Moral busybodies weren't moral at all. That is the case with all such groups. Be it the Pharisees in the time of Jesus or the current woke leftists today. Both groups were and are moral busybodies.
@@GRIGGINS1 There are people who state "Do as I say, not as I do". It is a form of cognitive dissonance which some people bring into their political lives by giving to much credence to extreme legal views and bringing out laws for "the ordinary people" which they have no intention of keeping themselves. Such aspirational laws lead to a disrespect for ALL laws, both good and bad. It leads to corruption among employees in law enforcement and the mass breaking, not only of the laws directly prohibiting a popular life choice, but of all laws. This is why governments need to be very careful to take all forms of public opinion into account when making new laws and also need to regularly clear outdated laws and regulations from the statute books as they become irrelevant or ridiculous over time. This does not happen in many nations.
Can we just stop and recognize how addicted some of these people must have been during this time.
Before prohibition, the main access to clean drinking 'water', was beer for the masses, or wine for the toffs.
Pot was used medicinally then as well & opiates weren't known until Britain invaded China & got a large swathe of the population addicted to smoking opium - it still happens in some places, to this day - Afghanistan, "The Golden Triangle" in Asia are two such places, though Afghanistan may now be a much different place, with the Taliban running the show.

I'm Italian, here alcohol (wine and some wine derivative strong alcoholic) is considered culture. And it is. We drink moderately not to the point where we lose our grip on reality (that's done by schoolguys/girls only), but because we like good things in life. Get a glass of Prosecco while tasting a grilled fish plate, or a glass of Chianti while tasting some handmade salami and cheeses, and you'll see what I mean.
Banning something just because some idiot can't control himself is just PLAIN stupid as you'll worsen the life of all the others, while the 1st one will find something else to lose control over.

Honestly you have the best content ever. Been a fan before the stash even.
The three big ethnic groups among alcohol providers in Prohibition Era Chicago were Sicilians, Irish, and Croatians. My grandfather and his sister, my Great Aunt Teta Maria, made their own wine in the city and I suspect provided some to neighbors and businesses. Grampa made quite a bit of money at the time, surprising for someone who spoke next to no English, and Teta Maria had a basement full of wine casks (Grampa had homemade red wine mixed with Seven-Up for breakfast every morning).
If you're ever in Las Vegas, you can see the original St. Valentine's Day Massacre wall on display at the local crime museum. On school field trips in Chicago, we would pass the garage where the massacre occurred, and the nuns would point it out to us.

I heard "20 shots" and was quite surprised.
That's far less than 2 per day on average or 10 per day on the weekends.
I get that some drank more and others less, but that's still a ridiculously low number for "when heavy drinking was the norm".
I'd reach half that average before getting tipsy.
"If there's one thing to not do in moderation, it's moderation. Like do that ALL the time." Heard that from Zefrank (I'm paraphrasing) and took it to heart.
@Gwyn and Gold
I remember going on 16 binges regularly with the occasional 20, once going 24.
Then I landed in the hospital with my heart out of its rhythm and heartbeat at 200, caused by multiple factors.
Turns out I have a leaking heart valve that's quickly getting worse.
So, for now those binges are history.

Unless its methanol. Just keep pouring...

My Great grandpa was a big partyier! He would buy barrels of whiskey and gin. 10 grand a barrel.. He lived in a mansion in Oak Park. West side of Chicago. Famous people from all over the country came to his parties! Ty Cobb and Gloria Swanson to name afew. One day one of the Help told him he could get a barrel for a grand and my Great Grandpa's response was," Thank you but i would rather live" 😄
Great presentation.
it's as though the moral authoritarians that screetch "think of the children" "if it could only save just one life" and "nobody needs this" care more about pride and control than actually helping people, but don't worry the government is always there to help you.

We now only drink 10% of what was drank 100 years ago?
Maybe we were just not ready for Prohibition at the time then.
Although, the world's population has increased by roughly six billion people in the roughly Century since then, so as much as its more moderate consumption, it still appears frequently
Considering there were a lot less forms of entertainment back then, I'm not surprised. Reminds me of a visit I made to a small town in Middle America a few years back-- wound up talking to a local who observed that the only things to do there were fighting or fornicating, both of which were precipitated by plenty of drinking.
Nowadays, it's probably meth rather than alcohol what is the social lubricant of choice.
I honestly can't wait for new videos you post
The cliffhangers before the ad are getting better and better
Ok guys so I know we’re talking about a dead kid here, but I’d like to thank our sponsor rise of kingdoms
Great video, keep it up!!
Thanks for 2 likes. 🥳
My great grandparents used to bootleg alcohol from Canada to Detroit. Best part is my great grandpa was a Detroit cop.
You can see records where my great grandma told the border her name is Katherine Jean instead of Jean Katherine, and changing their surname by one letter, making it a whole different ethnicity.

Is Arran turning Irish?
Scottish
@@gshield3571 close enough
First one is Scots and the second English so nope. The Irish are less polite (and less comprehensible usually) about it. Don't get me started about the Cornish...
@@rosiehawtrey well I’m Irish and saying people have a face like a well smacked arse is a common phrase
English and both are sayings common around here, Northern England mind.
I’m starting to see the parallels with democrats and the 2nd amendment on guns and issues of medical marijuana
Medical marijuana is pretty spot on to alcohol prohibition, but for guns... there’s a problem. There is no ban on guns.
You don’t get high shooting a gun. You can’t get much money’s worth from a gun shooting at targets aside from self gratification and self defense, unless you specifically have that in mind when buying a gun.
Guns have always been made to kill, so long as they shoot lead with gunpowder and fire a powerful enough cartridge.
That’s something important when considering that guns should be handled by people mentally fit to do so.
People in your perspective would think people are the problem, not the guns. That’s exactly the point of gun laws. Keep guns from getting into the hands of those who may become violent.
If that’s something you don’t like then get help.
@@topsecret1837 I think you miss my points. Sure, you’ve got to have laws for alcohol or guns or anything else that can cause harm. It’s the parallel of the fervor of the Prohibitionist of then and the anti gun people of today that is interesting...those people would love an amendment banning guns just like the teetotalers of back then. You can be assured Americans will ignore such a law and criminal organizations will benefit. The same story will unfold. Regarding marijuana, my comment was directed at the exception...where it is still illegal generally but approved for medical use, people just get a prescription ... very easily. Overall, my point is that you can’t change people, they will do what they want.
@@topsecret1837 Banning guns would only keep them out of the hands of the people who WOULDN'T get violent. The violent ones would find a way, and prey on the good folks.
The trouble with banning guns is the huge stock of guns and expertise to make them from scratch that exists in the USA. I do not know how many gunsmiths there are in the USA but I would say it would run into many tens of thousands. These would all have to be interned or monitored very closely to prevent the manufacture of illegal guns. Ammunition would also have to be controlled very heavily which would be impractical as it seems to be easy to make. My own country of Ireland has very strict gun control laws almost amounting to a complete ban. This does not stop gangs killing 100 people a year in feuds involving drugs and other illegal activities. The guns used are Glocks and submachine guns, which are totally illegal in Ireland, only shotguns and 0.22 rifles are allowed yet these other guns magically appear in the gangsters hands when needed. The only upside in all this is that people can be jailed merely by having such guns in their possession but the gangsters often use kids to carry these weapons around and sometimes use them. You can bet the big pins will not be found near either guns or drugs on their person.
My great great great uncle, on my mom's side, was a rumrunner during this time. One of our old bars in my town was actually a Speakeasy for a little while, disguised as a burger joint.
Thanks Thoughty! Fun romp through history.
"In North Carolina way back in the hills...there lived my pappy and he had him a still....he brewed white lightning when the Sun went down...he'd fill up the jug and pass it around"
You sneaky bastard, that was the smoothest segue into ad I've ever seen.
As a side note, one of the old names for moonshine was "mountain dew".
The Irish have a version of grain alcohol called poitín. It is made in the remote areas of the West of Ireland and it was illegal and highly variable in quality. Today many companies have been set up with government grants and suitably taxed and registered it is available legally for sale. I think the difference between poitín and whiskey is aging in oak barrels which formerly contained wines and sherries.
reminds me of any other drug prohibition in todays day of age...
only that more people die
Interesting times to bring out a piece like this!!
