Hehe, the idea of of a group of drunk elderly women preaching the evils of alcohol amuses me.
In that state I can imagine they got quite passionate about their support for the 18th Amendment and the threat of
Mother's ruin.
It always shocks me that to this day there are still places in the United States that are
Dry Counties.
