Pop the cork—actually, don't. It's illegal now. In this episode, we enter the strange world of Prohibition, where the U.S. tried to ban alcohol and instead unlocked a golden age of speakeasies, bathtub gin, and gangsters who treated the 18th Amendment like a business opportunity. Meet the bootleggers who built empires, the federal agents who tried (and often failed) to stop them, and the everyday Americans who suddenly had to whisper when ordering a drink. It's a tale of moral crusaders, unintended consequences, and the moment when organized crime stepped into the spotlight—and never really left.
