Repeal Day is December 5th

[ol_ironstomach]

A reminder to all interested parties that this week, we celebrate the repeal of the Volstead Act in 1933, which returned to Americans their right to get schnockered on legally fermented and/or distilled beverages. Gan bei!

(And don't do anything stupid if and when you tie one on. Because with freedom comes responsibility. Please.)

REPEAL DAY CELEBRATION

December 5, 2007

Tabard Inn

1739 N Street, NW

9 P.M.

Bring a Toast!

Drink to freedom, drink to friendship, drink to whatever you want.

Thanks to the repeal of the Volstead Act on December 5, 1933, you

can drink. We will meet at Tabard Inn at 9 P.M. for the second annual

REPEAL DAY CELEBRATION.

Our tradition is to toast throughout the night. Toasts generally start

tame enough, but save a few for the later hours. Here's one to wet

your whistle...

There are many good reasons for drinking --

And one has just entered my head:

If a man doesn't drink when he's living,

How the hell can he drink when he's dead!

Here's some information for those thirsting for knowledge...

Billy Martin's Tavern in Georgetown opened December 6, 1933. What better place to celebrate?

We were there last year. Agreed, a good place to celebrate Repeal Day.
