OT: Prohibition in the Americas

"But by 1830, the average American over fifteen years old consumes nearly seven gallons of pure alcohol a year, three times as much as we drink today." [ http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/prohibition/about/episode-guide/ ] Hmmm...guess I'm an average American of 1830 then, based on reckoning how many US gallons of beer I drink @ 3.5% alcohol. Or nearly average, at least. I'm doing my part as a "wet". Wonder how long it will take those DVDs to show up in Netflix-y rental services over here.
