Alcohol Prohibition Repealed In Finland
Helsingfors (Helsinki) Finland, happy days are here again as prohibition in Finland is repealed. Thirsty thousands pour into the restaurants, cafes and nightclubs of Finland as the 12-year old Prohibition Law is abolished and the sale of strong beverages is put into the hands of the country’s rulers to raise revenue. A last minute threat of an embargo by innkeepers to combat price inflation is adjusted and fresh stocks of imported spirits are offered to the public. The bootleggers, king of the rum trade since 1919, dry up and take their place in the republic’s history.
