Remember, we have states that outlaw plastic straws.
Used to have plastic straws wrapped in paper to keep them clean.
Now we have paper straws wrapped in plastic to keep them dry.
Our leaders sometimes think that doing something is better than doing nothing and this leads to brainstorming stupid shit to do.
😂
Snorky was slang of the time for spiffy/stylish/sharply dressed.
Jack Daniels can be purchased at the JD brewery but you are not allowed to open the bottle until you leave the county where the brewery is located. The lawmarkers craved out a legal exception to the country's dry laws. There are 3 types of counties in the US: wet, dry and moist. Wet county means a person can purchase and drink alcohol in that county. In a dry no one can purchase nor drink in that county. A moist county is a county where buying alcohol is illegal but you are allowed to drink at home. Moist counties do not have bars, but you can buy the alcohol somewhere else and bring it home for consumption. In Alaska alcohol is legal except on native Eskimo lands. A small bottle of liquor or beer is a felony with long prison sentences. These same laws are mostly the same as those in Canada's north.
What the tour guide at the distillery told us about the law in Lynchburg was it was legal to possess and drink alcohol in Lynchburg but it was illegal to buy it. However, it was legal to buy the bottles that held the alcohol. Sometimes semantics are wonderful things.
That photo of the Valentine’ Day Massacre has always been crazy to me. The audacity of taking pictures of your group as you murder people is mind boggling. Then again nowadays people livestream themselves committing crimes so what the hell do I know?
Yeah crazy - Adam
That photo is just a re-enactment, those men lined up against the wall aren't the ones that died.
So...uh...that's a very prescient comment looking back from the future. Yeesh.
If you ever come to Chicago, I highly recommend the Untouchable Tour. They'll tell you the whole story of Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, etc. And they drive you around to various places where a lot of the major events took place. Its a great tour.
@@jeffburdick869 That sounds awesome. Thank you! 😁
I don't know it it's still the case, but I stayed in a dry county in Texas for a short time for work. We would draw straws to determine who would drive to the nearest county to buy beer for us.
38:40 its def. like that in parts of the US too. I live in Chicago. I remember in 2010, I was outside of a pub, smoking a joint with like 3 or 4 other guys. A cop car drives right by us, looks at us, and just keeps on going. A lot of it is that cops in Chicago have real shit to deal with. Wasting an hour of their time with a bunch of 20-somethings for consuming a small amount of weed, they don't want to waste their time with that.
The “Dry Counties” still make no sense to me, being from a state without them
They don't and some are slowly going away. I grew up in county that was dry, but about I think like 10 years ago they went wet. A big selling point was that number of traffic accidents were shown to be on the roads going to and from the dry county to the wet one next door. It was aruged that if you let the county go wet, it would lower the accidents as people didn't need to drive as far to get alcohol. Also and mainly taxes were brought up and just general public being a bit less conservative.
It just means you can't sell it in that county. I lived in a dry county most of my life, but it just meant driving to the next county over to buy my liquor.
@@DarthBil1
Yeah, but what’s the point of it?
@@coyotelong4349 Probably some moralistic bologna. Maybe something about classism; there do seem to be more liquor stores in lower-income areas.
My dad had a talent for finding beer in dry places; including Disney World in the ‘90s. Still have no idea how he did it
About Remus killing his wife: There's one thing this video doesn't mention. Remus's wife was apparently in love with that Prohibition agent. Such that one or both of them tried to get a hit man to kill him. So yeah, she did kind of deserve that, and that's probably the single biggest thing that led to the Jury Nullification and hence Not Guilty despite his confession : Not only did his wife screw him over badly, she or the man she was banging tried to have him killed.
This would have been worthwhile being told in the original video.
@@SirDavid290 : Well, it's "Oversimplified" and this video was not about this case. In fact, not every article on Remus will mention the hitman stuff (you have to find one that goes in depth) so it's possible this is just an honest mistake on Oversimplifieds part.
And before they tried to have him killed, they tried to have him deported. And before that, she made millions of dollars from selling Remus' business empire and gave him... $100. So yeah, his wife and the dude she was banging were basically targeting him in all kinds of ways.
My theory on why it was made a constitutional amendment is just to make it harder to repeal. Laws can be difficult to pass in the US (especially today when the filibuster is heavily abused), but amendments are almost impossible.
Wayne Wheeler. His looks in the oversimplified style looked like Walter White from Breaking Bad.
Find some educational Canadian videos. Teach us about your homeland, thats the thing I dont see other reactors doing
Haha funny you should say that....Stay tuned this week ;) -Adam
@@CanadiansReact o nice! And if you're having trouble connecting to the female demographic, there's always onlyfans 😂
😂
I’m pretty sure Oversimplified is a Canadian guy
@@TheMNrailfan227 he is irish american
InAmerica we’re still going through the same thing with cannabis .now it’s one state you can go to prison for years ,And then in the next state over for the same things you all good . Or just system is completely broken. Oh we also have for profit prisons and They make money by keeping you there. I was a former correctional officer
It is the miserable American democracy 😀😀 Do not worry. There are plans for the rise of socialism to power in America
Before and after Prohibition, Canadian whiskey on the whole was likely neither better nor worse than that distilled in the U.S. But during Prohibition, American-made whiskey might have been of very poor quality or even unsafe to drink, while whiskey labeled "Canadian" was at least produced at a proper distillery. For decades afterward many Americans perceived Canadian whiskey to be superior. To this day the big distiller Seagram's sells the cheap, American-distilled whiskey called Seagram's 7 and the slightly more expensive, Canadian-distilled "V.O." I am aware of this because I worked for years at a liquor store, and I remember old men who grew up in the 1930s and 1940s would buy American whiskey for their own everyday consumption and the Canadian for guests. Considering Prohibition was 90-100 years ago and nearly no one living remembers it, I wonder whether this marketing distinction still makes sense.
Now I'm gonna have to rewatch Boardwalk Empire
Glad you got to this one. I knew as soon as they posted it you had to see it
There is no way 40% of federal revenue was from alcohol taxes.
Well you have to remember that the alcohol consumption was a lot higher than today plus back then there wasn’t as many taxes such as an income tax. The main taxes were tarifs and sales taxes
36:15 We have the exact same thing in rural Alaska. There are isolated tiny towns where booze has to be smuggled in. And the only way to even reach these towns is by plane or snowmobile. So like a bottle of Jack costs hundreds of dollars.
What about marijuana? Now that it’s legal in Alaska
@@kayzeaza Great question. Honestly, I have no idea. I only knew the thing about booze because I've watched a couple of documentaries about it. It seems insane to me...guys getting arrested for bringing a 5th of vodka from one city to another within the same state. They treated it as if someone was smuggling coke into the US from Colombia or something.
That canada burn was 😂
"hey man, this is a stick up"
The first years of building the hover dam in the summer in the Arizona desert was during probation
Probation is a sentence you get from a judge.
Great video
It's like that on the rez's up in Canada. A 66 can sell for $600, when at the LC they go for 65 bucks. Same goes for the 3 Territories as well for pricing in the smaller towns.
Happy New year everyone and have a great 2021
Luckily I live in Australia, where alcohol is considered an essential service during lockdown.
It's funny how some people try to compare this to the desire to ban most guns, not understanding the huge difference. Alcohol is a lot easier to make, a lot cheaper to make, and was far more widely used than guns are now. Sure, criminals can form a black market for them, but they're not going to make nearly as much money as a bootlegger because their cost of operation is going to be a hell of a lot higher than bootleggers. It's just not at all the same.
You're right, it's not the same. Our right to own firearms is guaranteed by the highest law in the land, whereas the right to drink alcohol is not. So, they are quite different indeed.
Why did he have a cannon? America! That's why.
Usually a dry county doesn’t sell alcohol, but you can drink in your house or have a party, just no selling.
Wait,
Your Canadian beer gardens don't have cannon?!?!?
There are states where marijuana is legal too, like Colorado, California, Illinois, Oregon and some others.
Yeah but we’re talking legal across the nation. That’s great non the less! -Adam
Great job guys! Poor Canada.....YUCK? WTF? Lol
Exactly, I always thought Canadian beer and liquor was good quality haha
LOL they left the Commercial in.
Aww, you guys looked so hurt when they said "Yuck" to Canadian whiskey. They're just trying to be funny, Canadian whiskey is great.
Is Canadian whiskey/beer seems to be that bad like he's putting it in the video? lol. Or was he saying during that time period it just wasn't the best?
I think he was maybe just making fun of Americans feelings toward Canada.
I think he was being sarcastic. Canadian whiskey is good.
@@rich_t Oh ok. I've never tried so I wouldn't know. lol.
I live in TN and the country where jack daniels is brewed is dry.... so you can buy it at the distillery but not in the county?!
also i think prohibition is also why rootbeer is so popular in the US
Robin Williams. FATHERHOOD and his crazy interviews
Little old lady Carrie Nation was 6 ft tall.
are you sure you wanna leave that jcv logo in the video, when you guys get bigger you might see issues with including brand names
Thanks for the tip! - Adam
23:57 there’s a cut in the video.
Very interesting.
Robin Williams. VIAGRA
One joint "1980". Tacoma Washington. Still on my record. That's prohibition.
That's so messed up. Come to Canada :) - Adam
Thanks, but I just can't support the Jays...R.I.P. Tommy.
Go Blue!
You guys do great work.
@@Chance1978ric Haha fair enough. Thanks so much for supporting our channel. We're motivated by comments like this! - Adam
@@CanadiansReact Its been legal in Washington State since 2014. Colorado too. And ironically, Denver and Seattle played each other in the Superbowl that year. Coincidence? Or the pot gods showing gratitude?
Y’all from the Midwest?
A little further North. CANADA 🇨🇦 😂 - Adam
@@CanadiansReact if you hadn't said you were from Canada, I wouldn't have known you weren't from Iowa (or Illinois or Nebraska.)
Lord Calvert is better than most Whiskey from USA...
Yeah, okay.
Dry towns and counties in America is just local businesses can’t sell liquor. For the longest time the only town (Ranger) in my county sold liquor and lots of people over years got killed driving on a tricky section of interstate called ranger hill. Nine years ago my hometown voted in a a “wet” town.
