  • Last sunday night I was at Alexander 's house for the evenment of the year:The Superbowl. If the two teams(Seattle and Denver) were not very popular the game were juste amazing. And what a finish! Seattle have won the game 43-8 . The show at the half-time with Bruno Mars and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers have enjoyed the crowd. Each year it's the evenment that all Americans are waiting for and this year they were not disappointed . They use to eat pizzas, chicken, and drink a lot of beers. We think that it's the best condition to watch the Superbowl.

  • Prohibition: Prohibition was a period of nearly fourteen years of U.S. history in which the manufacture, sale, and transportation of liquor was made illegal.

    Many people drank because it was hot or because it was cool.They drank when they closed a bargain or when they made new acquaintance.
    The American man started to drink early in life: when they were teenagers and they just stopped when they died.
     
    When they worked they drank two times in the day, when the bell rang they stopped their work and they drank.
    The prohibition started because many wives and children « were beaten by their father or  husband and they were mistreated or abandoned whithout food or shelter.
     
    Many associations like the WCTU were created to help these peole.
    So the US governement  proclaimed the Volstead Act in October 1929 to ban alcohol, beer,liquors or any else beverage of the American society.

  • During the twenties, in America people used to drink every day.: from early in the morning until late in the evening, and they spent all their time in saloons. They started to drink early in their life and they stopped when they died.

    Americans were used to drinking for a lot of opportunities : they drank when they made a new aquaintance, they drank to rejoice or celebrate an  election, they also drank if they met someone.. 

    Very fast  alcohol became a rite in the life of Americans : men could stop their activities in factories and offices, farmfields, As a matter of fact a  bell used to ring to warn the workers of the break:  it was known as  the "grog time".

    Rhum, Whisky and Beer were the three types of alcohol that could be found. Alcohol became a symbol of masculinity: to show you were a man ,you drank.

    But, alcohol became dangerous for women and children because men became violent. Men couldn't provide for their family and they couldn't do their job. 

    So the government proclaimed the prohibition with the 18th  amendment in order to protect the nation from drunkards who could become harmful to the nation.
