Historical Context

2 moments from history that rhyme with this story — and how they unfolded.

January 1920

Prohibition begins (1920)

The 18th Amendment banned the manufacture and sale of alcohol across the United States. Legal alcohol commerce halted, and illegal speakeasies took over the market.

Then

A national black market in alcohol grew, and enforcement became uneven across states.

Now

The ban proved unworkable and set the stage for repeal thirteen years later.

Why this matters now

This is the origin of federal alcohol control that the current state licensing system replaced.

December 1933

Prohibition ends with the 21st Amendment (1933)

The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th and returned alcohol regulation to the states. Each state then built its own system for licensing bars, restaurants, and stores.

Then

States including California created license categories for on-premise and retail alcohol sales.

Now

Every state still requires a license to sell alcohol, which is why Yuchun Bbq must apply to serve beer and wine.

Why this matters now

Explains the mechanism behind this event: a restaurant needs state permission to sell alcohol, and the ABC license application is that required step.
