May 14, 1932: A great day in history

[Stu Gotz]

In New York City, Mayor Jimmy Walker demonstrated his support for the cause by organizing a day-long Beer Parade on May 14, 1932. An estimated 100,000 people turned out to cheer for the legalization of beer. One New Yorker in attendance, a toddler, held a sign that read, "My daddy had beer, why can't I?" Some 40,000 Detroiters held a similar event in the Motor City on the very same day. Marchers in the parade chanted "Who wants a bottle of beer?," baiting spectators to call back, "I do!"

I only drink on two occasions.
When I'm thirsty, and when I'm not.
