1920s Anti-Alcohol Commercial

Mainly influenced by the church, the illegalization of alcohol (Prohibition Era) lasted from 1920-1933.

This commercial is but one of the products of the 1920s anti-alcohol smear campaigns.

Drinking beer leads to misery and self loathing. Last time I got drunk, I fucked the girl of my dreams. It was awful.

You're full of shit, as is anyone who upvoted your moronic comment.

Ethanol isn't gasoline (petroleum) which comes from rock oil. Ethanol is a natural byproduct of fermentation, which happens whenever fruit or cellulose goes uneaten. You can get drunk off old fruit.

Also, there are many things that are "natural" that will kill you quicker than any processed drug. Castor beans, bad shrooms, rosary peas, flowers like monkshood, water hemlock, or angel's trumpet. Even oleander!

if they want to kill their own brain cells, let them kill their own brain cells.

You should not and will not have dominion on someone elses life.

@sanarkhos not trolling because of a year old post but don't forget about malcolm x and nutmeg. i don't think he died from it but he did mention it in prison. it's addictive and gets you high in large doses. a large dose would be considered the amount of a matchbox.

@peacemaker083 everything in moderation is healthy.

What a very ironic commercial. Christians believe wine is the blood of god and cherish it but during the 1920s, christians thought all alcohol was the demons drink.

The Church: restricting everybody's freedoms, whether they like it or not.

Anyone know the name of the full video that this clip is from??

Huh. In class, we are taught that prohibition was illegalized with the help of WOMEN. not the church.
