Bathtub gin, speakeasies & the american right to drink

In this episode of Thick & Thin, we’re going back in time to the 1920’s prohibition in America to uncover secrets and intriguing parallels found between that era and modern times. I also discuss underground parties, gangsters, risky alcohol allegedly made in bathtubs, and just how far people will go to maintain a sense of normalcy. // Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte /  SOURCES: https://www.thecut.com/2020/11/nyc-underground-nightlife-covid-19.html https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/prohibition/unintended-consequences/  https://www.history.com/news/10-things-you-should-know-about-prohibition “Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition" by Daniel Okrent (a book) Learn more about your ad choices.
