How did small farmers react to the tax on alcohol?
Small farmers were not thrilled about the tax on alcohol. This is because these farmers enjoyed once being able to afford the alcohol.
What are the amendments that address alcohol?
Numbers 18 and 21.
Which amendment made it legal to make and sell alcoholic beverages?
The Twenty-first Amendment to the U. S. Constitution repealed the Eighteenth Amendment and made possession and use of alcohol legal again.
Presidents who did not drink alcohol?
The US Presidents known to completely abstain from alcohol were William Henry Harrison and Millard Fillmore. William Howard Taft and Ronald Reagan drank very little, and George W. Bush, our previous President, freely admits to having problems with alcohol, and presumably has been alcohol-free for a number of years.
Why isn't alcohol illegal?
Because when most people drink alcohol, they aren't necessarily trying to get drunk and can exercise self-control and moderation. It is the group of people who cause DUI crashes and have addictions that give alcohol a bad name. Many people also get angry that while drugs are illegal, alcohol is legal. But, the answer is simple really. When a person does drugs, they expect or want a high, but someone who drinks alcohol isn't necessarily doing it to get drunk, which I would compare to the high of drugs.
