74 years ago today, Utah finally cowed to the
rest of the whiskey-loving Lower 48 and grudgingly ratified the 21st Amendment, bringing to
an end America's long nightmare of bathtub gin and flapper fashion. Nostalgia for speakeasy culture has given way
to a fetishistic modern cocktail movement exemplified in bars like New York's Milk & Honey and San Francisco's Bourbon & Branch. But on this historic day, we prefer to note
that the repeal of Prohibition and a few other developments since 1934 have
made possible the million-and-one homemade YouTube videos made by piles of
pierced twinks, drinking Bud Light out of the can, pulling down their pants for
the camera, shouting "OMG I'm SO DRUNK!" and making out with each
other for sport.
Thank you, America. We are grateful for our every freedom.
