I heard somewhere that just before the prohibition era started, adults in the USA consumed on average a fifth of whiskey every day. Considering many women didn't drink, that made it 2 fifths a day per adult male. That at least partially explains the movement to abolish alcohol, and the major backlash against those who tried to abolish it. Two things I do know - Boardwalk Empire is an amazing show, and this picture, courtesy of Complex is really funny!

Jason - Drinking a fifth of whiskery no less two WILL kill you ! Before prohibition people mostly drank beer. My mother lived in the Bronx under Dutch Schultz during prohibition and my grandmother worked for him. My great grandfather made bath tun gin for him too. I have lost relatives and friends to alcoholism and although prohibition was one of the biggest mistakes this country has ever made drinking hard liqueur in that amount will kill you ! People who drink like that after about a dozen years go in the hospital and everything fails all at once , then they die. I drink hard liqueur for the record. Don't like beer. I also have many friends who are drinking themselves to death. I was raised in Garden City N Y and it's a RIVER of BOOZE !
