The Twenty-first Amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933.
National Repeal Day
If you like a drink, then National Repeal Day is all about you. On the 5th of December, it’s time to raise a glass to all things cocktails, beer and spirit, and celebrate your right to have a cheeky little (or large!) tipple now and then. Whether you enjoy a sip of sophistication with a swish cocktail or simple G and T, or even if you’re happy to sit back with a bottle of beer, this day celebrates kicking back with a drink or two whether at home, with friends or at the pub.
History of National Repeal Day
Between January 5th 1919 and December 5th 1933, America was dry. And we don’t mean it didn’t get much rainfall – during these years, the consumption of alcohol was banned. This was supposed to end drunkenness and put a stop to crime – but if anything, it just made problems with lawbreaking even worse.
Simply enough, even though it had been banned, there was still a demand for alcohol – and some shady characters made it their business to help America get a swig of the sweet stuff. Soon enough, organized crime would become a key driver of the liquor trade.
Bootlegging, or rum-running as it might also be known, became of especial favor with crime lords. Sneaking liquor around the country became a big business in 1920s USA, and despite the best effort of authorities, the big wigs of the underworld were soon reveling in the money it brought them.
Realising perhaps keeping beer away from the people was causing more trouble than it was worth, a number of repeal organizations were born and eventually, after much consideration, the 18th Amendment was lifted. And so on the back of all that, we celebrate repeal day.
How to celebrate National Repeal Day
This day is an easy one to celebrate, especially if you are partial to a cheeky drink or two. There’s no need to get dressed up – although if you choose to go to a posh wine bar, you could always pop on something sparkly; Celebrate repeal day by grabbing yourself a quick drink on the 5th, or perhaps you could make some swanky cocktails at home.
If you’re feeling sociable after a day at work, why not get the gang together and go down to your local pub for a few? And if you don’t drink alcohol, you can always get involved with alcohol-free beer, or some tasty virgin cocktails. Cheers!

**Everyone goes all bananas for the 2nd Amendment…. … Not me! Me! I dig the 21st. That’s an important one!
(But I get it, it takes some actual reading to get to that one.)

This bottle was gifted to me by my friend and fellow cocktail blogger @capturing.cocktails from Portland. Seems appropriate to share it on #REPEALDAY, along with why it's named Volstead Vodka. Andrew Volstead was a Representative from Minnesota who introduced the National Prohibition Act, which passed in October 1919 and issued a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933. Prohibition’s “great experiment” was a significant failure. Congress proposed the 21st Amendment to the Constitution on February 20, 1933. The amendment repealed the 18th Amendment and was ratified on December 5 that year. So today we celebrate the fact that we can again, consume spirits. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalRepealDay •Learn the history of the 18th and 21st Amendments. •Drink your favorite cocktail. •Try a new cocktail. •Visit a speakeasy reminiscent of days gone by. As always, drink responsibly. Never drink and drive. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sn7Z1l7YN/?igshid=15klalbgrbo0g

Today is National Repeal Day. Today we celebrate the ending of a 13 year prohibition of alcohol, which started in 1920. Do you know who the President was who ended prohibition? #nationalrepealday #alcohol (at Wooster, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sVq8zpaAw/?igshid=1p00yiz5ye4a

Giving a dangerous, flapper-style edge to the consumption of alcohol in illegal speakeasies also may have contributed to a whole cult around alcohol consumption, further glamorizing it. And if there’s one thing we really like when we’re consuming alcohol, it’s an element of glamor! So if you own any flapper-style costumes, this is the time to pull it out. #nationalrepealday #prohibition #repealday #cocktails #cheers #yatesestatesga
