Am i the only one who remembers that 40-50 years ago alcohol WAS illegal. So we alcohol drinkers fought this allready, it's your f*cking turn you hippies

wasnt so much illegal

Prohibition was never enacted in Britain, but it was promoted by Liberals such as David Lloyd George, especially those with a political base in Methodist areas such as Wales. In World War I, Britain restricted the amount of alcohol available, taxed it, and drastically reduced the hours of opening for pubs. After the war, restrictions on quantity were dropped, but taxes were raised and pub hours restricted. The pub remained a British institution, but sobriety increased. Licenced pubs in England and Wales numbered 88,739 in 1913; 82,054 in 1922; and 77,821 in 1930. Consumption of beer fell from 35 million barrels in 1913 to 13 million in 1918, recovering to 27 million by 1920, and settling to 20 million barrels after 1927. Whisky and other spirits declined dramatically: from 31.7 million proof gallons in 1913 to 22 million in 1920 and 10 million in 1930. Convictions for drunkenness declined sharply as well: in 1913 the number was 153,112 men and 35,765 women; in 1922 63,253 men and 13,094 women; in 1930 44,683 men and 8,397 women.

Prohibition? It didn't work at all, they used to have ninja-drinking sessions where everyone would get together and sup a few pints and challenge the police to arrest them etc - because there were so many the police obviously couldn't follow through. Also Prohibition was amongst the reasons for the emergence of organised crime. Another good job by the Federal Government really ;p
