Someone should do something about this

I'm surprised there's no restrictions on alcohol in Utah outside of the Navajo Reservation.

I had no idea alcohol was banned in Mississippi straight into the mid 60s.

nope, they're not using my replies thanks very much

Utah is innacurate and should be yellow.

I know in South Dakota at least, the red counties are where the Pine Ridge Reservation is. And the council has banned alcohol there to fight back against addiction and alcohol dependence.

Tennessee and Kentucky: “We don’t want people drinking that poison here! We’re sensible folk. We export it.”

Ah yes, the Red Years

if you're ever in Savannah, GA the Prohibition Museum is an interesting way to spend a few hours

I was recently reading about prohibition. My biggest takeaway was that places where only beer/wine is legal are called "moist counties".

Difficult to quantify the amount of damage done to the country by prohibition just through the lens of criminal gangs and corruption. Not having learned our lesson we prohibited marijuana with the same results

I also love how you can see Anheuser-Busch holding out as long as they possibly could.

Sounds like Das Boot

So who wants to bet this will be the same for Age Verification laws, vpn and social media bans, and so on?

SCP Containment Breach ending music

Spent a good chunk of my life in that little red square on the Texas/Louisiana border than only flipped from red to yellow in 2013.

In 2026, it's kind of wild to think about Prohibition in regards to amending, then *unamending*, the Constitution. Any amendment to the Constitution seems impossible these. Much less unamending an amendment.

Clark County, Nevada should remain green from the repeal of prohibition through 1969.

@pinkcurmudgeon.bsky.social Imagine how much beer we could boot leg in the 1920s if we had a DeLorean and a flux capacitor!

I dated a girl in high school whose uncle was insanely wealthy - he owned the 'Near Beer Store', which sat on the county line.

New Jersey seems to have been the longest lasting state without prohibition another big W for my home state

genuinely had no idea prohibition was alive still - sincerely a Californian

Kinda weird to include places like Alaska and Hawai'i for the whole thing. There were only 38 states in 1880. Sure, they were territories, but then where are Puerto Rico, Guam and the like? We demand to know the history of alcohol prohibition in American Samoa!

Today I learned there are counties where alcohol is still banned.

reasonable reaction

So Texas was one of the last states to get into the prohibition bandwagon and the last to get out of it?

More maps should have boss music

everyone talks about 1984 but not 1924

I didn't realise it was still illegal in so many places

this is plague inc gameplay

Except Malört.

This is amazing lol

fun to watch the counties change in Texas, where I had the ill fortune to grow up.

wait, so it went from “fiddle-dee-dee” to “where’s my robot army?” in 15 seconds? that's some timeline chaos i didn’t know i needed—like a pickle at a rave!

Lackadaisy moment.

The last 12 weren't states in 1880. Would have been interesting to have them added in based on when they obtained statehood.

song names?

South Louisiana is a fun thing to watch on this map....

holy shit did not expect how stubborn Texas was and IS. straight up full green still, that's interesting

Plague, Inc.

it should be the ominous theme for all the time the whole map isn't blue

I like how it took a state law in 1919 for Pinellas and Hillsborough counties in Florida (midway down the peninsula, Gulf Coast side) to fully ban alcohol.

That was like somber mission failed music from Age of Empires.

This is pretty educational I had no idea that so many of the states had already banned alcohol by the time prohibition was enacted nationwide

There are still places in the USA that ban alcohol? Wild shit

This is THE ominous industrial sci-fi that gets used in a lot of these mapping type videos. Almost a cliche. Click on another popular mapping YouTuber’s video and you’ll probably hear it.

Watching the post-21st amendment maps, Dukes of Hazzard suddenly makes a lot more sense!

Big Gatr.

I can't get over "moist counties" lmfao

>Sees the county I grew up in was yellow >Do not remember alcohol being hard at all to find >Look it up online >The sale of alcohol in the county was banned except for in one city. >That city was the one we lived in What the fuck

A lot of those areas switched to meth too :/

When I was at University of New Mexico the blue laws prevented alcohol sales on Sunday. The ER would fill up with some who drank airspray diluted in water called “ocean spray.” I don’t think you could buy a car from an Auto dealer either.

There was a book that came out last year about the first woman in Congress. she was part of the temperance movement and she cites the violence of drunk men. m.youtube.com/watch?v=e1Wm...

gotta read up on Carrie Nation and how her women's organizations were a model for modern DV shelters and organizations

What is the actual difference between yellow and green on this legend

killjoys in 1920, a man can't get an espresso martini anyplace

What was up with the upper right of Arizona? It was illegal the entire time

This feels like Plague Inc

Me, watching this as the video progresses: "OK, when does it turn back to all blue?"

the 'ominous industrial sci-fi' is the exact same song that was used in a roblox SCP roleplay game i played a lot when i was a kid ??? lmao

Some of those look a lot like they could be Reservations, and they're prone to having issues with alcohol abuse.

Sorry beer & wine was permitted in grocery stores in 2016, ready made cocktails were permitted in 2024.

Yeah, that seems entirely possible. If, for example, it were illegal in the county, but legal in my city, I don't know that I would have ever been in a scenario to notice that.

This map is a little misleading. There are only a few (primarily Native American communities, primarily in Alaska) where it's still totally banned like in prohibition. The rest of the red just means sale is illegal, but it's not illegal to have/drink it

that is cool! Happy Valentine's Day! youtu.be/lbzNg8UbqDw

anyone who's family lived in westerville in 1910 should be forcibly relocated to oklahoma...

quite a few reservations do not allow alcohol sales en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

The US ignored the 1920 census and did not redistrict to maintain the over weighting of congressional seats to rural pro-prohibition districts because they hated immigrants We are living through another failed white uprising against immigrants.

Oops, actually Mississippi
