Today’s the day to lift a glass to the 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition
Here’s a sneak peek at a story that is scheduled to run in the Dayton Daily News tomorrow, on Friday, Dec. 5:
And it just happens to fall on a Friday … .
Today, Dec. 5, marks the 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition, and some Dayton-area students of history are looking forward to lifting a glass in celebration.
Dennis Hall, former owner of Fairfield Wine in Beavercreek, said he and his wife Denise plan on dressing in 1930s-era clothing and hitting Le Monde in Dayton’s Oregon Historic District, “perhaps for an old-fashioned cocktail such as a Manhattan made with rye whiskey,” Hall said.
Boston’s Bistro & Pub in Harrison Twp. kicked off a year-long celebration earlier this year with its “Prohibition Tuesdays,” offering $1.50 pints of craft beers. And it will celebrate in style today by giving $10 gift certificates to customers who dress “to the hilt” in period costume, owner Dave Boston said.
The ban on alcoholic beverages began in 1920 but did not put an end to drunkenness, crime, mental illness and poverty, as proponents had promised. On Dec. 5th, 1933, Utah became the final state needed for the three-quarters majority to repeal Prohibition.
“At least at that one point, government actually listened to the people,” Hall said.
Now, on to the TBDWTELITL — The Best Damn Wine Tastings and Events List In The Land, thanks to the local wine listserv that compiles it:

Ann: I thought Arrow turned 74 this year, not 75, but I could be wrong, and either way, it’s not a bad idea …By Ann Boucher

I think Dayton imbibers should celebrate by stopping into Arrow Wine & Spirits, as they are also celebrating their 75th anniversary, today!
