The History of Alcohol
Most countries that attempted some form of prohibition or other did so in a fairly short window of time, from around 19 14 to 19 33. It wasn't until the 19 forties that we understood the exact mechanism of fermentation and more specific guide lines for what could be considered safe consumption.
