For all those who have never had muscadine wine... If you're drinking it, it's because there's no gasoline to drink.
(Seriously, the stuff is nothing like a nice Cabernet or Pinot Noir.) As for prohibition, South Carolina has a long history of moon shining that existed before and after prohibition.
So what’s my point? I seriously doubt Prohibition did much of anything to stem alcohol consumption. The North imported it. The South distilled their own.
Pat’s just finding more windmills to joust.
