Watterson on the liquor question from Munich to Louisville
In a Munich dispatch Colonel Henry Watterson argues beer and wine curb crime, contrasts Bavarian beer culture with American prohibition. He cites liberal Munich laws, near universal beer consumption, and police data showing declining arrests. He extols moderation, notes Hofbrauhaus as Munich’s premier beer hall, and critiques prohibitionists as despotism.
