Today, 105 years ago, on January 2, 1920 (Lunar Calendar, November 12, 1919), the U.S. Alcohol Prohibition Order came into force. Federal agents poured whiskey into the pit on January 2, 1920, and the U.S. law banning the brewing and selling of alcohol came into force. For a long time, the public opinion strongly advocated for the ban, and until the beginning of the First World War, two-thirds of the U.S. states were "dry."
