Essayist and humorist Corey Ford wrote this about Prohibition (the Volstead Act and the 18th Amendment to the Constitution) in Vanity Fair in 1930:
8:39 pm on October 5, 2009Drink what you please, when you please. Urge others to drink. Don’t betray the bootleggers who are smuggling liquor for you. In every way possible flaunt your defiance of the Eighteenth Amendment. Render it inoperative; ignore it, abrogate it, wipe it out. While it stands there, let it be disobeyed.
