The article I read was about how in Texas, there are still prohibition laws that have not yet been repealed. One of those such laws prohibits the sales of spirits on Sundays. This is referred to as a "blue law" and most of the other blue laws have already been appealed as much as 30 years ago. I also learned that 43 states in the United States allow for the sales of spirits on Sunday. Reading this article really surprised me because I did not think there were still any limits on alcohol sales in America. The author of the article seemed pretty unhappy with this law as a native Texan, and they said "it is time to implement a modern framework consistent with modern consumer preferences." In class we talked about the older prohibition laws in the United States, and it was interesting for me to find out about some of the lesser known laws that still exist.

This article states several facts about United States Prohibition. While many of the facts were said in class, there were a couple that I hadn’t heard of. One of them was that alcohol was still allowed in pharmacies during prohibition, so some pharmacists sold hard liquor and prescriptions to the customers to drink it. They would be prescribed 3 oz. per hour. There was a limit of 1 pint per 10 days. Because of this, many speakeasies turned into pharmacies which eventually led to chains. Walgreens went from 20 locations to 500 in the 1920s. Another fact is that sacramental wine was still legal, so there was a large increase of questionable rabbis and priests.

The article I choose discusses how there is a traveling Prohibition Museum that has been going to different cities all over the United States to teach Americans about Prohibition. The exhibit is called, “Spirited: Prohibition in America" and it talks about the history of Prohibition and the affects that it had on America during this time. Also, the museum will have events such as a "Speakeasy Party" where guests will get to drink contemporary drinks, dance to big-band musics, and play casino games. In addition to this, visitors will also learn about the amendment process, the changing role of alcohol in American culture, Prohibitions impact on the roaring '20s, the connection of women's suffrage, and varying liquor laws state to state. Overall, it will teach people the many effects prohibition had during the time and afterwards.
