If anyone wants to read more about the era, I'd suggest checking out the wikipedia entry on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Twenties" target="_blank">Roaring Twenties</a>.According to wikipedia: "Prohibition in the United States aimed to achieve alcohol abstinence through legal means. The term is also used to denote the era of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the years 1920 to 1933, during which alcohol sale, manufacture and transportation were constitutionally banned throughout the United States. Prohibition began on January 16, 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect."Well, keep in mind that those who favored such expensive fare could easily use their wealth and influence to acquire smuggled liquor with little to no fear of legal problems. Prohibition was intended more as a guiding principle for the everyman rather than the elite of society. What's the point of being in the upper classes if it doesn't come with some special privileges? Ah, the sweet smell of corruption... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />So how about that Flyfingers merit? :\</blockquote>
