Posted: February 10, 2010 Filed under: Alcohol, Patneralism, Prohibition Leave a comment »“When Prohibition was repealed in 1933, the federal government gave states the power to regulate sales.

The privatization faces resistance from religious groups, labor unions and mom-and-pop shops, suggesting how economics are trumping other concerns in the struggle to overcome the recession.”
