War on drugs, almost as dumb as the war on terror.

I got an email from Jack Daniels about this yesterday because they were releasing a bottle of 75 year old whiskey and a bottle of 70 year old. It was 75 years ago that prohibition ended and 70 years ago that it ended where they made it. :chuckles: They said in 1933 finally they could open up again. I laughed at that.
