Jeffrey Morgenthaler is spot on with his comments on the the often overlooked, though momentous occasion in American history, now known as Repeal Day:

Folks, there are a few drinking holidays here in the United States, but I’m here to tell you that none of them are as important as the new celebration I’m proposing for this great country of ours. Repeal Day (December 5th) is not celebrated by anyone in this country, yet it is the only day which truly has any connection with alcohol.

Frank151 would like to thank all of those olde thymers who voted to abolish prohibition, and a special nod to our friends at Dewar’s:

It was on December 5, 1933 that the 21st Amendment was ratified and Prohibition was terminated. And, Dewar’s Scotch - the first legal whisky to arrive in the U.S. - hit New York’s South Street Seaport docks the moment the law was put into action.

Drink up, America. It’s your right.
