Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Back in 1976, America was celebrating its bicentennial. For those unaware, that was the United States of America’s 200th birthday. Well, while we all enjoy the glow of sparklers and thunderous explosions of fireworks every July 4th, we haven’t really had anything exciting to celebrate since the mid-70s.
