"Cat #and #Mouse"
Prohibition #led #to #many #more #unintended #consequences #because #of #the #cat #and #mouse #nature #of #Prohibition #enforcement. #While #the #Eighteenth #Amendment #prohibited #the #manufacture, #sale #and #transportation #of #intoxicating #beverages, #it #did #not #outlaw #the #possession #or #consumption #of #alcohol #in #the #United #States. #The #Volstead #Act, #the #federal #law #that #provided #for #the #enforcement #of #Prohibition, #also #left #enough #loopholes #and #quirks #that #it #opened #the #door #to #myriad #schemes #to #evade #the #dry #mandate.
One #of #the #legal #exceptions #to #the #Prohibition #law #was #that #pharmacists #were #allowed #to #dispense #whiskey #by #prescription #for #any #number #of #ailments, #ranging #from #anxiety #to #influenza. #Bootleggers #quickly #discovered #that #running #a #pharmacy #was #a #perfect #front #for #their #trade. #As #a #result, #the #number #of #registered #pharmacists #in #New #York #State #tripled #during #the #Prohibition #era.
Because #Americans #were #also #allowed #to #obtain #wine #for #religious #purposes, #enrollments #rose #at #churches #and #synagogues, #and #cities #saw #a #large #increase #in #the #number #of #self-professed #rabbis #who #could #obtain #wine #for #their #congregations.
The #law #was #unclear #when #it #came #to #Americans #making #wine #at #home. #With #a #wink #and #a #nod, #the #American #grape #industry #began #selling #kits #of #juice #concentrate #with #warnings #not #to #leave #them #sitting #too #long #or #else #they #could #ferment #and #turn #into #wine. #Home #stills #were #technically #illegal, #but #Americans #found #they #could #purchase #them #at #many #hardware #stores, #while #instructions #for #distilling #could #be #found #in #public #libraries #in #pamphlets #issued #by #the #U.S. #Department #of #Agriculture. #The #law #that #was #meant #to #stop #Americans #from #drinking #was #instead #turning #many #of #them #into #experts #on #how #to #make #it.
