The people in a fit of idiocy granted the federal government the power to prohibit 'adult beverages' through the 21st Amendment. Thus showing even the Founding Fathers underestimated the power of human stupidity ! Actually there is no constitutional way of turning that 'gift of power' down If the people constitutionally decide to enforce idiocy. It must be enforced !.
