Friday, January 1, 1909   Alabama Prohibition

The "Carmichael State Prohibition Law" went into effect in Alabama. As a result, breweries in the state switched to producing non-alcoholic beverages. Ultimately, the law was a failure, as it only prohibited the sale of liquor and not its possession. 

The Carmichael law was replaced in 1915 with a sweeping ban on the manufacture, possession and sales of alcohol that held until National Prohibition in 1933.
