"A Man's Drink, A Woman's Drink, Everybody's Drink, Coca-Cola"- 1919 Coke Ad |
The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

No Beer, Coke
October 28, 1919, the National Prohibition Act (a.k.a. The Volstead Act) went into effect giving Federal and state governments the power to enforce the 18th amendment. The 18th amendment banned the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors in the United States.

Yeah, and in 1919 it was the good stuff!
:) Nah, the small amount of cocaine was gone by then. Just when people needed it the most!
