October 28th...The Volstead Act and Prohibition (Kind Of)

Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 88. This time we examine the year 1919 as Congress overrides Woodrow Wilson's Presidential Veto of the Volstead Act.

Please Drink Responsibly and do not consume alcohol if u are under the legal age.

Had software issues on this one so needless to say i am in the market for a new program.
