2024 Q1 Spirited VA - 16

H
appy days were here again! On a
monumental day in October 1933,
Virginia voted to ratify the 21st Amendment,
to end national Prohibition. The
amendment became official on Dec. 5,
1933, after ratification by the necessary
three quarters of states.
As established by the 21st Amendment,
the federal government passed the
ball to the states rather than dictating
alcohol laws for all Americans. That
meant each state would set its own
relevant laws and regulations. On March
7, 1934, the Virginia General Assembly
voted to adopt a " liquor control plan, "
and the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board (ABC) came into existence on
March 22, 1934.
Virginia is one of 17 control states
and jurisdictions, controlling sales of
alcohol through state agencies at the
wholesale level. A primary advantage
of this model for Virginia is revenue
generation, much of which goes to the
general fund. In addition, from a public
safety standpoint, more resources are
devoted to regulatory and law enforcement
issues, which supplement local
and state law enforcement.
According to the National Alcohol Beverage
Control Association, control systems
are more vigilant in not selling to underage
and visibly intoxicated consumers. In
addition, they provide a level playing field
in a highly competitive beverage alcohol

These photos from the 1940s show what a customer would have seen
entering a Virginia ABC store. At the time, stores operated as dispensaries-
customers would tell the employees what they wanted to purchase and the
employees would retrieve the item for the transaction. Virginia ABC stores
operated this way until the first self-service store opened in 1969.
