Just found out that today (April 7) is National Beer Day in the US.
It marks the day the Cullen-Harrison act had effect. This was before Prohibition (amendment 18) was repealed. Instead the Cullen-Harrison act (in traditional American tradition) worked around the amendment by redefining the amount of alcohol that legally defineds a drink as intoxicating.
Upon signing the legislation, Roosevelt made his famous remark, "I think this would be a good time for a beer."
Interestingly, the day before (April 6) is known as New Beers Eve.
Its also my birthday.
I got a beer for my birthday which I will be drinking later today.
Now I need a baseball game.
