Prohibition Chief Rules on Set Ups in Cabarets
Prohibition commissioner Doran said dry agents may target cabarets and nightclubs serving ginger ale and cracked ice or other set ups if patrons become intoxicated. He added soft drink makers face no interference with legitimate business and that cases aimed purely to advertise will be dismissed. He, however, supports action against night places that charge high prices for set ups used as bases for highballs and similar drinks. Evidence must show intoxication and the patron must become drunk for a conviction.
