Finland. Here, too, restrictions are severe. Finland had total prohibition from 1919 until 1939, which destroyed the brewing industry. After repeal, new beer production was intermpted by World War II. The per capita consumption was 51.5 L in 1987. Production increased from 2.5 x 10 hL in 1975 to 3.6 X 10 hL in 1988. 

In the United States, the Alcohol Tax Unit came into being with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, and it became the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax division of the Internal Revenue Service in 1952. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), established in 1972, and the Department of the Treasury closely regulate the manufacture of distilled spirits. 

Sasha had some peyote plants (the natural source of mescaline) growing in front of his house. The DEA had not asked him to remove them, which surprised me in view of Sasha s firm advocacy of the repeal of the prohibition of marijuana and psychedelic drugs - a view, incidentally, with which I fully sympathized. 

Repeals the former provision in the FD C Act that prohibited any representation in labelling or advertising that FDA had approved an application for a new drug. 

British colonial undersecretary William Knox presents a proposal concerning what to do with the colonies if they are subjugated and returned to British control.

Alcohol Prohibition is repealed by ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The focus of federal agencies shifts increasingly to combating illicit drug use. 

NORML is one of the nation s oldest drug policy reform organizations. Its focus is to change public opinion so as to achieve the repeal of laws against marijuana use. It believes that responsible use rather than prohibition is the proper way to deal with the drug. NORML has played an important role in decriminalizing minor marijuana offenses in 11 states and in lowering penalties elsewhere. 

Temperance movements began to spring up in America largely supported by religious groups. By the eighteenth century the American Temperance Society promoted the concept of total abstinence from alcohol. In 1919 laws prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcohol nationwide were enacted, but these laws were repealed in 1933 by the Twenty-first Amendment to the Constitution. 

Alcohol problems were tremendous in America s history, although generally they were not considered serious until the nineteenth century. Great temperance crusades culminated in the passage of the Volstead Act in 1919, which prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages until it was repealed in 1933. Prohibition, as it was commonly known, left a mark that still colors some individuals attitudes on alcohol. Alcohol is now considered America s national drug. -... 

Although alcohol was not generally considered a drug, an amendment to the Constitution outlawed its use in 1920. In a climate of bootleggers and speakeasies, Prohibition was repealed in 1933 as unenforceable. 

It was not until after World War II that the humane movement in the United States became reenergized. This was due, in part, to the sudden increase in funds available for biomedical research as well as the passage of a number of state pound seizure laws, which required release of unclaimed dogs and cats to medical research institutions to satisfy increased demand. After numerous failures to repeal these laws, humane societies turned their attention toward providing alternative shelters for homeless or lost dogs and cats. It was not until the 1980s that several states, under pressure, including New York and Massachusetts, passed laws that prohibit the release of any cat or dog from any type of shelter except for its adoption or return to its owner. 

Post-Prohibition. The repeal of Prohibition found eastern viticulture, what there was left of it, in deep depression. Unlike California, it was not helped by the huge grape deal directed at home winemakers and it had lost much of the fresh fruit market to Thompson Seedless, Flame Tokay, and Emperor from the Central Valley, short on flavor but long on shipability. 

When nylon 66 was developed, it was described as being synthetic or fully synthetic in order to differentiate it from rayon and acetate. This was no small act of courage, as the word synthetic, in that period just following the repeal of Prohibition in the United States, was often associated in the public mind with the least palatable kind of alcoholic beverages. In due time, what is known in the advertising business as puffing led it to be known as the first fully synthetic fiber, which was an anachronism. It so happens that fibers based upon polyvinyl chloride (PVC) predated nylon by several years. 

Prohibition—The 18th amendment, which prohibited the use and sale of alcohol in the 1 920s and was repealed in the early 1930s. Marijuana use spread as a substitute for alcohol.

As virtually everyone knows, the Delaney Clause prohibits the addition to food of any additive that has been found to induce cancer upon ingestion by test animals. As very few people realize, however, that general proposition is riddled with statutory exemptions, has been subjected to constant administrative exceptions created by FDA to avoid absurd results, and thus has been invoked only twice in its 24-year existence.(25) It simply is not an important factor in FDA s decision-making on food safety. If it were repealed tomorrow, and the other food safety statutory provisions remained unchanged, not a single FDA decision during the past 24 years would be changed. 

Blending.—On account of the inherent variability of a product made in relatively small batches like pot still whiskey and the natural fluctuations in the qualities of the raw materials available for patent still whiskey, the practice of blending whiskey of different distillations and different years arose early in the life of the industry, to enable the distiller to market a more uniform product. Later, the custom extended to the blending of the products of different distilleries and of distillates from both pot and patent stills. Still later, and in the United States possibly even more after the repeal of prohibition, the practice of spreading the flavor of an old whiskey over three to five times as much diluted silent spirits was exceedingly common. 

The Department of Agriculture definitions of wine have been readopted since the repeal of prohibition from those promulgated on June 12, 1914. They read as follows ... 

The liquor industry as a consumer of agricultural products. —The advocates for repeal of prohibition have made much of the large outlet for farmers crops which the liquor industry will present.
