182. Because that worked so well when they banned alcohol. Of course back in the REAL world,

Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 03:35 PM by jmg257

the (now illegal) use of alcohol INCREASED, as did the criminal element, the crime rates and violent crime rates associated with it. Also gave birth to organized crime as we know it (and of course the Kennedy fortune - go Joe Rumrunner!).

And "the right to keep and drink alcohol" didn't even make it into the Constitution!
