I’ll have to check that one out. There are several other Ken Burns documentaries on Netflix, and they are all very well done. I’m plugging through “The West” currently.
“Prohibition” made the case that a lot of the reaction against alcohol was based on distilled liquor rather than wine or beer. Sort of like your average working stiff, who would down a few beers with meals, started hitting the harder stuff and ended up in the gutter. Also, it highlighted the anti-immigrant aspect, since all those foreigners who traditionally drank beer and wine needed to be kept under control.
