If you can catch it watch it! It was on last night and I am sure will repeat. Very historic and informative. The legal age to have sex was once 10 years old!!!!!!

It is very interesting and the film and photo footage is amazing! It is so cool to see all this old footage. And learning about how strong women felt about how awful alcohol was and and and. There is a lot of stuff I had no idea about. Plan to dvr the other one's for sure.

Just stumbled across it and I guess there is another one on next? Or maybe the beginning of this one. This is the kind of PBS programming I love!

I haven't been able to watch it straight through, but it is very fascinating. I didn't realize the extent of the corruption and political slime. I knew that alcoholic beverages were around for thousands of years, but didn't realize the impact that the invention of distilled spirits had. Other surprises to me were the huge amount of alcohol that was being consumed before Prohibition, and the number of loopholes in the original legislation.
