In this episode, we sit down with Mom Mom  at Uncle Bill's pancake house to discuss the origins of the Temperance Movement and it's influence on Ocean City. We also give a brief overview on the Prohibition of 1919 and how it led to the creation of organized crime and changed American drinking culture forever. 

Ocean City holds a very special place in my heart and so making this series means a lot. 

Enjoy!

Best,

Andrew

The dude who plays the saxophone was an aid for a special needs child in middle school. So many people and places in this video that i know and grew up around... Kinda crazy watching Andrew come to where i grew up.

Ehhh, I agree with a lot of the principles, but there are some pretty poor arguments portrayed in this video. Yes, of course more people died of alcohol than any illicit drug... alcohol is used by significantly more people in the US because it's legal and more easily accessible. So of course there's going to be more deaths, but that doesn't mean alcohol is more dangerous than tranq or fentanyl. Alcohol is absolutely harmful, but nowhere near the level of those drugs. Also, comparing Ocean City to Jersey Shore is comparing two massive extremes. Alcohol is legal in the vast majority of the US, and Jersey Shore is still a shithole compared to most of the US. There are plenty of places where alcohol is legal that aren't terrible trashy places to live.

Love your content in general, and not suggesting anything malicious on your part. I just don't believe the logic in this video holds up to your normal standards.

Definitely a good time to bring up societal bias. Federal prohibition of drugs like weed and shrooms has done nothing but bad things for America in general

The shareholders who own a percentage of Anheuser-Busch InBev for example, are no better, if not worse than the drug cartels pushing tranq and fent. IMO.

Drugs and alcohol isnt really comparable on deaths. The number of people drinking alcohol is waaaaaay higher than the amount of people doing dangerous drugs, so ofc the death toll is gonna be higher. This comparison is like comparing crime and gun violence of a country like US to Norway, wich has only a fraction of its population. Consuming any substance that alters your mood and behavior comes with risks, and everyone knows this and makes the choice themselves. Its all about how much you consume and how often.

I used to swear alcohol was my favorite thing of all time. Then I quit it after having kids, don’t miss it at all, just don’t have that life anymore.

Fuck it post the rest im interested now

Being an european I think your problem is that you have to wait till 21 to drink, here you start with beers at 16 at parties and by the time you’re 21 you’re already quitting, or maybe just getting one or two drinks on Saturday night

Andrew on his AA ark lol no hate please don't turn into steveo tho and make it your whole identity . Good points tho. Alcohol is synonymous with bonding with the boys or anyone really if their were more social places where alcohol wasn't the focus I guarantee alcoholism would go down hard.

Saw this on Wikipedia about Ocean City: USA Today listed Ocean City as the state's most drunken city on its 2017 list of "The drunkest city in every state".[52] Additionally, a loophole in the law allows private dining clubs adjacent to restaurants to serve alcohol to members.[53] Could be interesting to dive into that?

We should probably let all 4 parts play out. Andy is pretty good at following the story unbiased and then winding up with an interesting curveball that perhaps not even he saw coming. He rarely broadcasts (lately) in the first half where the message winds up. Or if there even is a clear message. It’ll likely be grey and up to us to realize it’s more nuanced and not an all in or all out situation. Just my inflationary 2 cents.

Your Philly tranq full video (which I saw on YT) was really impactful and hard hitting. I appreciate you diving into something that must have been scary and heart wrenching to dissect. This is my first series watching in parts as a new patron. Looks interesting so far. Thanks for making the YT platform a better place and making local news look like a bunch of chumps. Wish they weren’t all clear channel buyouts. I never watch cable anymore regardless but I know old folks are heavily influenced by its drivel.

No one waits till 21, it just isn’t legal, it’s astonishing easy to get though.

Anonymous

Not really, I spent 1 month in santa barbara when I was 20 and in order to get alcohol we had to ask a mate who was 21 and hide in parking lots to drink, meanwhile at parties you would see drunken 22 yo guys behaving like we used to do when we were 16 and first trying it out

the SWAT temperance team moment at 2:20, amazing.

channel5

Haha I’m not on my AA shit, although I’m still involved in various 12-step meetings. Think about it tho - pure alcohol would kill you. Beers with the boys is like 3-5% alcohol max. Federally regulated. Alcohol in its raw form, like most illicit drugs, would kill u, right?

Somehow I have his # and actually asked him if he hates broccoli as well - he does

Oh geez you actually read these haha love your work! I woke up hungover today and watched this I am just projecting my problems lol was just trying to razz you a bit all good i agree alcohol is a much bigger problem in our society then most people like to talk about.

JoePerkins

I don't drink, I never have, and for me the amount of alcohol consumption that is seen as normal is insane. American fiction is particularly crazy about this, showing people drinking raw whisky as if it's not a big deal. It looks like ads.

I appreciate your content, but I noticed you used a clip of the Nicole Linton crash in this episode, and I'm not sure she was ever determined to have been drinking in that incident. I guess I could be wrong, but without conclusive evidence seems a bit disingenuous to use that footage in a doc about alcohol abuse/deaths? "Authorities said they haven't found any evidence that Linton was under the influence of alcohol or drugs" https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/nicole-linton-background-nurse-la-crash/285-b057c517-0723-46bd-9b67-9ca78118b8b3

I was having a lot of fun in my first years in university. Last year I stopped drinking for 5 months and nothing made sense anymore it became so bizarre. Before when I saw somebody snorting something at a party I was kind of feared and confused, now it is the same with binge drinking. Before I enjoyed it so much now I don't get it at all

It would be kinda legendary if you guys did a deep dive on the ambivalence of alcohol's place in societies throughout history, like its economic role in ancient Egypt etc etc and the central role of various types of fermentation in essentially all human cultures... it has totally defined history in positive and negative ways. Anyway love yall the border vids are filling a gaping hole in contemporary media coverage just like everything else yall do

And weed still isn’t federally legal and is still schedule 1 drug</3 i know this video doesn’t even mention weed but please bro alcohol and cigarettes can be legal with no medical benefits but weed can’t?

yeah that was the Inglewood incident. I will try to track down more info, but being in LA I had been following it pretty closely when it happened since it was all over the news for a few days.

Andrew you should have come to Long Beach Island which is a few miles away from Atlantic City. Here we are known to be “a family oriented” island but we also have bars and clubs. It would’ve been funny if you showed that too at the end. The island also has a bunch of history🤟🏽 loved the video

Not sure why you showed that video of the 5 people killed in the LA car crash alluding to it being caused by a drunk driver. Toxicology showed that the driver who caused that crash was not intoxicated at the time. She had a long history of manic episodes and involuntary psychiatric stays, and based on records released so far was either in some sort of mental break caused by a frontal lobe seizure or was attempting to commit suicide. There is an ongoing wrongful death lawsuit against her employers because it is thought that her working as a travel nurse exacerbated her condition the day of the crash.
