The 1920s was a period of excess particulary when it comes to alcohol. During this period poeple were used to drinking for a lot of opportunities : not only did  they when they made a new acquaintance but also when they closed a bargain for instance . Alcohol was something really during??? because men used to drink from early in the morning until late at night. Drinking was a symbol of masculinity, to show you were a men you drank. During this period, women were victim of domestic violence from their husband. Unfortunalety there was  no divorce and no police either, because "domestic violence" did not exist" . Alcohol is part of the story of the united state because, people would drink whenever they wanted. Everybody used to drink, it was like a ritual such as the grog time. (explain)
