I'll Drink To That!


In 1919, the U.S. Congress passed the Volstead Act, over U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's veto, enforcing the constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of alcoholic beverages.
This didn't really effect my family......they made their own stuff, lol.

My family did too. Great grandfather was one of the original moonshiners. A hotel he had in Illinois had two boilers for hot water.

Only one was used for water.
