Synopsis
This book examines how the 18th Amendment, instigated by the American Medical Association and the life insurance industry, was a grave error that was implemented without full consideration. The author argues that alcohol, in moderation, can be beneficial for human health, and that prohibition forced Americans to find dangerous alternatives like moonshine, leading to a rise in crime and corruption. The book also criticizes the medical community's relationship with the prohibition movement, arguing that they prioritized their own financial interests over the well-being of their patients. Ultimately, the book's insights on the importance of individual freedom and the dangers of government overreach are essential reading for anyone interested in how prohibition became a cultural and legal failure.
