Let’s have a drink to the Maine Law

I had to grin about the DownEast.com trivia question for today, especially since I posted the other day about the Maine crafted beers I am able to find here in California. Here’s the question.

What was the “Maine Law”?

Answer

Maine pioneered the prohibition of alcohol, adopting a ban on the sale of liquor on June 2, 1851. The law became the model for prohibition laws in other states.
