Repeal Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Repeal Day is the celebration of the anniversary of the end of Prohibition.
[edit] United States
In the United States, Repeal Day is celebrated on December 5. The Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on December 5th, 1933. The Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution repealed the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and thus effectively ended nationwide alcohol prohibition.
Generally, Repeal Day is celebrated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
