Great excuse for a cocktail party! If it weren't a school night, I'd have my official housewarming.

I'll have a drink to celebrate.

The wikipedia page currently has a great piece of tomfoolery. See if you can find it!

Prohibition in the United States was the period 1920-1933 when the entire country outlawed the manufacture, transportation, import, export, and sale of alcoholic beverages"”that is, liquor, wine or beer. It also includes the prohibition of alcohol by state action at different times, and the social-political movement to secure prohibition. At any time possession of of liquor, wine or beer was illegal. Drinking alcohol was never technically illegal, but one who was drinking was liable for prosecution on the grounds that they possessed the alcohol they were drinking.

I'll be sure to celebrate with a pint, or five.

Drinking would have been so much more fun if it were illegal.

I'm always reminded of the scene from Once Upon a Time in America where the gangsters are holding a mock wake for Prohibition. That, and the final scene in The Untouchables when the reporter asks Kevin Costner's Elliot Ness what he'll do if Prohibition is repealed, and Ness responds, "Guess I'll have a drink."
