In this episode of Unpretentious Eats, we dive deep into the history of Prohibition, exploring how the 18th Amendment failed spectacularly and its lasting impact on the U.S. Today’s discussion touches on the rise of neo-prohibitionism and its troubling resemblance to the ill-fated Prohibition Era. From Oregon’s controversial "Rethink the Drink" initiative to the unintended consequences of alcohol bans, we break down the connection between past policies and modern-day restrictions. Along the way, we uncover how Prohibition not only led to an underground bootlegging economy but also fueled crime, corruption, and economic setbacks.
Join us for an eye-opening look at why revisiting Prohibition is a misguided path and how we can learn from history to make better choices about alcohol policies today.
Plus, stick around for a brief update on my current obsession of the week – a domestic liqueur that might just become your new favorite!
