Support the independent voice of South Florida and help keep the future of New Times free.
Today is the 78th anniversary of the end of Prohibition, that dark era from January 1919 to December 5, 1933 when teetotalers banned the sale of booze via the Eighteenth Amendment. The law was created in an effort to end drunkenness, mental illness, crime, and poverty, lobbied for by folks who sympathized with the likes of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Naturally, there was more decadence during the era rather than less.

Keep New Times Broward-Palm Beach Free... Since we started New Times Broward-Palm Beach, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of South Florida, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering South Florida with no paywalls.
