Prohibition

Having never really looked at the history of prohibition at all, it's not something I know a lot about and I certainly never knew anything about the UK moves towards prohibition at the same time.

I've just been looking through some of the old Harper's archives looking for a few headlines and found this:

( The State Purchase Lure - Harper's Wine & Spirit Gazette 26 May 1917 )

Interesting to see where our alcohol laws have derived from.
