The Government Poisoning Alcohol?!: Prohibition

Hi friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today dark history gets a little….drunk. That’s right babes, we’re talking about Prohibition. We know prohibition for the speakeasies, the flappers, and the bootleggers. But there's so much more to uncover. And ooooo, it is wild.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
You can find Dark History podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts, and every Thursday here on my KZbin for the visual side of things.

Petition for Joan and Bailey to have matching outfits

[@charliijean]

Lol I was thinking too. I sign the petition 😃

[@sabrionix3506]

if theres a PO box we could make and send them too 🤩

[@allieh5749]

I support this

Aye

[@monaannoertel5359]

My grandpa ran a bar and he made something that was called near beer. He could sell it during prohibition. He did make his own liquor and sell that. One time the feds came in and took samples, and put the bottles in their coat pockets. While the feds were talking to my grandpa, my uncle took the samples from the feds pockets, and broke them in the alley. My grandpa would have gone to prison if my uncle hadn't picked the feds pockets. My grandpa the bootlegger.

[@queencelestyna]

My grandma told me about her mom sharing a recipe for bathtub wine with her at one point. Apparently my great-great-grandpa had made it (and had his kids help him) as a way to make some extra cash during Prohibition.

[@crystalryan3520]

My great grandpa was a police officer that was injured on the job and became a moonshiner after he couldn't be an officer anymore. He was in the hills of West Virginia. Once a man wrecked his car after coming off Grandpa's mountain so the police found the moonshine in the car. The police made him a deal that they would give him the money (marked) to buy more from Grandpa Maddy. After he bought the moonshine, the cops raided his home and took all the money in the house to search for the marked bills. They never found the marked bills and left. Grandpa Maddy, his wife and my grandmother went through the money after the cops left and found the marked bill. The cops had missed it. :D Both sides of my family ran moonshine. I love the stories about what they got up to.

[@babesmagee1]

As far as I know Near Beer is a beer without alcohol. It's actually a real brand of non-alcoholic beer.

[@mothergoon]

bootleggin badass

[@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701]

i mean you do realzie alcohol isnt the best thing in the world.... ever.

[@mustardistasty]

Hi Bailey, recovered alcoholic here! I can chime in about the hangovers. When you’re drinking hard every day your body eventually gives up on giving you hangovers and just begins to accept the horror of being poisoned all the time. Then, when you start drinking 24/7 you never get a hangover at all! Yay! Except then if you try to stop, you could have a seizure and/or die. Not yay.

[@iya.]

Oh my that sounds horrible and I’m proud of you on your recovery. I hope you are living well ♥️♥️

[@mustardistasty]

Thank you, that is so sweet of you! I am doing well now :) 💜

[@amberchadwell3509]

Congratulations on your recovery buddy! That’s awesome.

[@snickers4ever97]

Alcoholic in recovery too. No hangovers when you’re drinking 24/7, but the withdrawal symptoms are so much worse. Highly don’t recommend lol

[@laurenwoolen5882]

IM RELATED TO CARRIE NATION… she was WILD. She was my grandmas great aunt so my great, great, great aunt? My grandparents used to have a portrait of her in their house but I swear she was looking into my soul every time I saw it lol.. they donated it and a lot of other things of hers to a museum a while ago though unfortunately:/ also fun fact, the name of the high school in the live action bratz movie is “Carrie Nation High”

[@shakeyraware4470]

That's wassup

[@MrAdryan1603]

That's really cool! And I don't play with Bratz dolls, but that's a neat fact. She looks terrifying, btw.. not in a bad way, just in the way that she could probably snap me like a twig or flick me to China hahaha, I'm only 5'8. She looks like a total badass! I see what you mean about the photo that was in your house heheh. You must have some great family stories!

[@bluemondayparade]

[@angelahulvey4478]

[@AJ-dw9or]

No literally my first thought 😰😳

[@racheldavin7763]

During Prohibition down in the mountains & backwoods of the rural South, moonshiners would work on their cars to make them go faster during their runs. (The better to outrun revenuers, my dear.) Eventually, one moonshiner would challenge another moonshiner to a race to see whose car was faster. Then instead of running from Point A to Point B, they'd create a track in the middle of nowhere or even race on the beach in places like Daytona, Florida. And that's how NASCAR got its start.

[@malumachado4561]

I believe the first armoured car (later used in presidential motorcades) was made during prohibition too. It was the beginning of the old model Ts being "suped" and dragged to out-maneuver the police.

[@mikahcalp9283]

@robertborris

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

I’m ashamed to admit I know this from watching the Cars franchise 😂 my son loves it lol

History books are always written by the “winners” so it’s always biased. I wanna hear the other side of the story. The stories from the hard working people that were IN IT. Totally agree with you. Our history books are bs. As a kid they never even taught the trail of tears. Like what? Learned a little in college and most from my own research.

How did I never learn about Dr. Charles?! He is someone worth learning about. Also it seems a little backwards to make alcohol illegal to stop domestic abuse. Wouldn't it have been easier and more efficient to punish men for beating their wives?

[@melissaholland6878]

that would be too easy. why make men accept responsibility?

[@rachelmclachlan7776]

THIS IS THE ONE!!!💯👌 And sadly, 100+ years later, we haven't made much progress about this topic, maybe more like suttle momentum.

[@MikaMonster92]

If you are interested in Dr. Charles Norris, I would suggest reading the Poisoner's Handbook by Deborah Blum. It follows the career of Charles Norris and his chief chemist, Alexander Gettler. It's amazing and definitely deep dives into Prohibition and denatured alcohol.

when this las was repealed, it put my great grandfather's illegal gambling out of business. The organized bootleggers needed a new deal. Gambling was it and my GGF was out

[@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701]

yea i'm pretty sure sneaking in a substance that does no wonders to your body and is infamous for many domestic violence issues is not the most iconic and memorable thing humanity has ever done. there are better things people have done in history such as secretly freeing slaves from plantations and freeing children from the holocaust when the nazis weren't watching.

Speaking of Joan Crawford, she adopted two daughters from a baby smuggler named Georgia Tann. You might consider doing the dark history of adoption in the US, which was basically revolutionized by the baby thief (Georgia Tann).

[@harryz24]

I would like to see an episode about this also!

[@christinalong4966]

It was a daughter and a son

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

Was she aware the babies were stolen? Or was it just easier to adopt a child back then and people didn’t think much?

[@MarieC333]

My guess on the hangovers: they weren’t as bad because sugar is the key thing that leads to hangovers. This is why wine will cause the worst hangover, because of the sugars. They they were drinking basically gasoline so it was more corn. It helped that they didn’t quit drinking so the hangover phase wasn’t as common because they just used the old keep drinking trip

[@saintessa]

Oh! hmm

[@noreenelizabeth6617]

That's probably why I hate sweet drinks. I don't like sweet wine or sweet drinks. Unless there is chocolate involved....

[@SamanthaMacdoBroad]

Oh that makes sense as to why I wasn’t super hungover when I drank moonshine that one time. My kidneys hurt lol but I didn’t feel sick

[@no1nestandsalone387]

Sugar is not the key to hangovers lol. It’s the dehydration that causes the hangover. It’s why I drink water when I’m drinking cuz I hate hangovers.

So glad you’re back ! Love ya always 😘

If Bailey had taught me History in High School I would have definitely made straight A’s!! 😂🥰

[@Moon-eg3vm]

I seriously doubt it. She leaves out a lot of real history. Her biases is phenomenal.

[@TheTraciehannah]

Moon. If you don't think that every human that walks this planet isn't biased by their culture and experiences, then your deluded. Baileys show. Baileys opinions based on her research. I love it. And I think she's talks about important, previously untold ,covered up or forgotten lessons about history. That's why we study it. To IMPROVE.

Listened to the podcast already! Loved it and laughed so much! Thanks Bailey fir the truths and laughs!

[@Emiliapocalypse]

While you’re on the topic of poisoned alcohol, maybe you could cover the 1985 diethylene glycol wine scandal. In Austria, some winemakers used an ingredient shared by some brands of antifreeze to make their wine more full bodied and sweet.

[@valirhaziri1737]

Wait what? I never learned about that and i am from Austria Just looked it up - crazy

[@lmTheMink]

"Why does the government hate us so much?! I'm sorry, I was born here! I didn't choose this!" - literally every Eastern European citizen.... 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️

[@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701]

not "literally." also this doesnt apply to eastern europeans, you white supremacist

[@TylerLarew]

When baily said Joan was a flapper I screamed 😂😭 that little outfit is so cute.

[@annariojas9477]

Thank you so much for teaching me something new, well actually when I feel like it! You have so much wonderful content that I love learning something from you everyday! Also some of your subjects are about things that I’ve always wondered about, but when I’ve asked the why, what, and who? No one seems to know, but you do my Sagittarius Sister! XOXO THANKS, Anna

[@SlowlyButPEARLY]

I watch your videos to help clear my mind. My therapist suggested I try to use a meditation site to help but i find your videos work better! So thank you for helping more then the pros. Lol

[@anaxlouise]

back in the days before prohibition, the common tactic used to treat hangovers was just drinking continuously. can’t get hungover if you never get sober !!

[@LowlyFilmVlogs]

I swear if I was a history teacher I would play your videos and center that whole week just around the topic that week

[@bexjodhiwilliams2752]

😂 I love this whole episode! The best one ever!

Hatchet Granny is GOALS and I wanna be her when I grow up.

Same just not with bars. I'm gonna have to find something actually awful to destroy. Maybe the local offices of politicians. Churches who send people to picket at abortion clinics? Idk. I've got a couple decades to figure it out.

Yeeeesss new content and a subject ive been wanting to hear people talk about more

[@thedoctah1428]

I know the chance of you reading this is incredibly low Bailey, but if you do, would you consider going on puppet history as a guest? This is the crossover between the watcher cinematic universe and Bailey Sarian cinematic universe that I need in my life.

[@_rainey]

Loving that Joan - a bird - is dressed as a _flapper_ 🤣

[@slytherinsky]

I love that you were singing pomp and circumstance instead of the national anthem at the beginning, you’re so adorable Bailey. 💕💕

[@sarahobanion6707]

I’m so excited that you finally talked about this! Dean (Dion) O’Banion is a distant relative of mine and my family loves to talk about the “outlaw” in our family! Love your content Bailey!

[@christinedelman887]

Great show, I knew about Prohibition, but you made it fun!

[@katwitanruna]

To keep from getting hangovers drink one glass of water for every glass of alcohol you drink. Most hangovers are due to dehydration. Also, in the morning try having a cup of sweet peppermint tea.

[@JrRobloxOfficial]

TFS!!

[@darlingdeb7010]

A multivitamin before you touch a drop of alcohol works great too. Learned that from my dentist when I was in college lol.

[@amandajones661]

Also B12.

[@katwitanruna]

You can also take two anti-inflammatories before bed with a full glass of water.

My Great-Great Grandfather worked under the table in an NYC speakeasy for Al Capone! We grew up hearing stories about Al Capone and Bugs. So crazy!!

I learned quite a bit with this one, like all of your DH originals. 😘 Looking up your robe, cuz I need that in my life!

I’m never going to think of mafia again without thinking pasta, or vice versa. I’ve been a fan for years and you never miss to make me smile. Just getting better girl!

[@lizethacosta6057]

I was a huge history nerd in hs so I already know about the history of alcohol because I liked to research outside of history books (I learned quickly they were biased af). I’m refreshing my memory and watching to support you. 😌

[@tonyabarnes7235]

First know I am a much older. My son thought I would like you, he was right. I just wanted to say you always beautiful. When you were doing the adds you looked stunning made think of old Hollywood meets new Hollywood.
