Alcohol laws of Wisconsin
The Alcohol laws of Wisconsin consist of both statewide statutes and local ordinances governing the sale of alcohol.
==History==
When Wisconsin became a state, settlers from the Eastern United States (known as Yankees) took issue with the consumption of alcohol by German immigrants on Sunday, as well as the prevalence of alcoholism. The Wisconsin legislature passed a law in 1849 that made liquor sellers liable for the costs incurred by local governments in supporting alcoholics. Ten years later, the state prohibited liquor sales on Sundays.〔Joseph A. Ranney, '(Aliens and "Real Americans": Law & Ethnic Assimilation in Wisconsin, 1846-1920 )', ''Wisconsin Lawyer''.〕
In 1872, alcohol regulation reached new heights in the state with the passage of the Graham Law. This legislation prohibited drunkenness and the sale of alcohol to minors, and required all liquor sellers to post a $2000 bond (more than $30,000 in 2007 U.S. dollars).〔Consumer Price Index (CPI) Conversion Factors 1774 to estimated 2019 to Convert to Dollars of 2007 http://oregonstate.edu/cla/polisci/faculty-research/sahr/cv2007.pdf〕 German-Americans fought the new law in the courts and at the ballot box. Although they lost challenges in the courts, they were able to elect a legislature friendlier to alcohol consumption. In 1874, the new lawmakers passed less restrictive laws that lowered the bond to $500, allowed Sunday liquor sales, and created certain safe havens for liquor sellers to escape liability for alcoholics.〔
Wisconsin, like the rest of the United States, prohibited alcohol consumption during Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. But even before Prohibition ended, Wisconsin created work-arounds. In 1926, voters approved a referendum allowing the manufacture of beer, if not its consumption. The state repealed its law enforcing Prohibition in 1929.〔Joseph A. Ranney. "(Demon rum and Sunday lager: The temperence movemenet (''sic'') in Wisconsin )".〕 Wisconsin Senator John J. Blaine sponsored the Act that later became the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution, ending Prohibition.〔Wisconsin Historical Society. Brewing and Prohibtion. http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/tp-051/?action=more_essay〕 The state was the second to ratify the amendment on April 25, 1933.〔Amendments to the Constitution http://www.house.gov/house/Constitution/Amend.html〕
