    I work at OSU go beavs! I also studied history and homebrew, so naturally I think the history of beer is fascinating. Great stuff!

    8:24 Yes, and that led to the birth of NASCAR. Powerful cars with stiff suspensions to hold a lot of weight (cases of moonshine) and fast enough to get away from the revenuers (IRS). They also had to be reliable because if you got caught, you’d be going to jail. And the suspensions had to handle dirt roads. 74% of roads in the US were still unpaved. And lastly, they had to look like ordinary cars, but they were far from ordinary. Naturally, after doing the moonshine runs for the day, they would race each other to see who built the faster car. The result was NASCAR.

    It's the same lesson we refused to learn with our drug laws. If people wanted to use substances, they will. No matter what the government wants or what a religious minority wants.

      Actually with respect to cannabis, the public is protesting federal Prohibition: At least 38 states have legalized at least medical marijuana. 🍃

    Prohibition didn't work in California. In San Francisco restaurants just had back rooms where liquor was served. The San Francisco police didn't care. Some wineries stayed in business selling "sacramental" wine. ⚖️👎

    Prohibition. I don't drink. But what a stupid idea. The unintended consequences were enormous and disastrous ended the freedom to make up our minds how to behave.

      The channel began it's life as "world history stories" after I created an hourlong video about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then I started teaching the history of beer and brewing at Oregon State. Here we are. Thanks for watching the "baseball professor"!
