Liar.

Men wanted to publicly ban alcohol...that way when you did offer a chick a drink and they accepted, you knew they were bad girls.

And since they weren't drinking a lot, one or two drinks put them over the edge.

Cheap, easy dates.

No, it was minority lesbians. Never had a drink bought for them. They were pissed.

The Kennedy's pushed it through. They didn't like the competition with their bootleging business.

No offense, but I have heard how it was the "white man's cocaine" that was purposefully sent out to destroy the black community. I don't think any one can claim moral superiority over the other. That being said, the Volstead Act left a lot of people forced to do a lot of things just to survive while the real asshats, Capone, etc, continued to thrive and I could probably lose count tracking down the govt officials in on the racket as well. You do know that Johnson City, TN was called "little Chicago" during that time don't you? Interesting shit!
