    I probably wouldn't have cared, seeing as I'm British and we didn't have prohibition here.

    If I had been in the US I like to think I would've had a nice job as a showgirl in a speakeasy and spent my time drinking cocktails with inventive names brought for me by Italian ganstar types.
    This may just be because I am temporarily lost in some bizarre Bugsy Malone fantasy.

    Moonshine all the way, its pretty nasty, but I think eventually I would've gotten used to it.

    I would have joined the "family" business. My great grandmother made gin for the Miners in PA.

    I would have obeyed the law. First - I'm a weenie, and I don't purposely break the law. Second - alcohol isn't all that important to me. I could live without it without giving it a second thought.

    I'd learn how to 'speak easy' because moonshine is way too harsh.
    I'm a beer drinker only and liquor and me do not interact well.
    I don't like wine either but a nice glass of champagne is fine though.
