January 16, 1920

12:01AM
Long live John Barleycorn, a worthy man who signified the evils of alcohol. Today is the day that hell starts, when the Eighteenth Amendment comes to effect, all thanks to those stupid prohibitionists and women. Think they're going to get away with this, eh? They think they're all "saintly" and all hail "temperance". This amendment will be the death of me, I’m sure. A mere three paragraphs long, it ensures that the sale, manufacture, transportation, and the buying of alcoholic beverages are now illegal. I’m glad I stocked up on those extra bottles of vodka last week. The news didn’t say anything about drinking any leftovers!

12:37AM
I just went outside and met my neighbor. I asked him what was wrong seeing him out of breath and flushed. He told me he had to run out with his kid's carriage to hide all the rum that he stored in the storage house. He told me that all liquor would be confiscated if not on one's private property. I'm glad my bottles are safe in my closets~.
