        Technically the 18th Amendment wasn't repealed until December 5th 1933 - but Congress passed a law signed by FDR on this day that allowed making and sale of stronger (but still low-alcohol) beer and wine.

        Prohibition was a foolish idea in the first place. Only surprising thing is it lasted as long as it did!
