On 16th January 1920, at the stroke of midnight, America went dry. For the next thirteen years, no US citizen had the right to buy or sell alcoholic drink. Prohibition was to change America forever. However, instead of eliminating the source ofthe 'Devil's Brew', this period of supposed abstinence was to incite Americans to bend or break the law by every possible means: formerly law-abiding citizens now frequented speakeasies and brewed illicit alcohol in their baths; fishermen found rum-running far more lucrative than fishing and illegal distilleries sprang up across the country.
