Prohibition in Georgia: “Booze receives its death-blow”

2011 September 30

Counties in Georgia had
been dry since the end of Prohibition in 1933. But in 2011, the state’s General Assembly passed a bill that would allow counties to vote on whether to allow alcohol sales.

The bill passed the House of Representatives on a vote of 74-0 and the Senate on a vote of 34-0.
