1919 Norwegian prohibition referendum

A referendum on introducing prohibition was held in Norway on 5 and 6 October 1919.[1] Partial prohibition had been in effect since 1917, and the prohibition proposal did not include all types of alcohol, only spirits. The proposal was approved by 61.6% of voters. A second referendum on whether the prohibition should be maintained was held in 1926, resulting in an overturning of the law.

gollark: Looks like a webhook.
gollark: Despite the importance of accurate time for computers basically nobody actually uses secure time sync.
gollark: If it is "turned off" per device you can trivially change MAC address, although if it just disconnects anyone ever that would probably be harder and you'd either need access to the controls for that or some kind of NTP spoofing.
gollark: I know.
gollark: Just turn it on.
