À propos de cet audio

In the United States, every state regulates alcohol and liquor in a unique way. Their right to do so is even enshrined in the Constitution! So how did Virginia’s Alcohol and Beverage Control Authority come about? Why is liquor only sold in ABC stores? And is it true that Virginia doesn’t have any bars? We’ll trace the history of booze in Virginia from the first colonies, through Prohibition, to the end of dry counties in Virginia in 2019, and we’ll discuss how VABC enforces liquor laws in Virginia.
