The Twenty-First Amendment (repeal of prohibition instituted by the Eighteenth Amendment) righted a wrong. The Eighteenth Amendment should never have been ratified in the first place. Constitutions should establish procedures and standards for governing, rather than banning or setting standards for behaviors, which is what statutes are for. Constitutions shouldn't have amendments that are added and rescinded based on the standards at the time, and the Eighteen Amendment debacle is a prime example of government overreach that created a huge black market for booze and opportunities for organized crime.
Oh wait, this was posted in the front room and not the political room. Let me try again. I'm all on board with the Twenty-First Amendment. What sort of strip club experience would it be without naked women and drinking? Some of the girls (and guys) need some liquid lubrication in order to really get into it. One of my favorite things to do is to buy a girl a drink (assuming that the dancer drink prices aren't sky-high) to get her more comfortable with me before going in the back. Thanks to the Twenty-First Amendment, I've actually tried some drinks I hadn't crossed my mind to try before - vodka tonics and kamikaze come to mind in particular. A hot girl asked me if I'd buy her a drink, and she got a vodka tonic. She got called to the stage right when it was delivered, and when she was done, she made me take a drink from her class to prove that I hadn't slipped anything into it. It was yummy.
And somehow, the government managed to convince the people that it was proper to condition the right to drink alcohol pursuant to the 21st amendment with whether dancers could go nude, topless or had to wear pasties.
You're an idiot Icey; a racist fucking idiot. The greatest wromng ever committed by the Government was lowering the drinking and voting age to 18 and then only raising the drinking age back to 21. Voting age should be 26, since 26 year olds today are almost as mature as 18 year olds in 1973.

Cheers to drinking at the club, with a sexy back brace on!

I think today that people accept that a Prohibition approach does not work.
