Watson-Woods Bill

The Watson-Woods Bill was proposed legislation in the early 20th century aimed at regulating the manufacturing and sale of alcohol. It sought to impose restrictions on liquor production, distribution, and consumption to address social issues related to alcohol abuse. Although not enacted into law, the bill reflected ongoing debates about alcohol regulation, and it influenced future policies that eventually led to Prohibition in the United States. Essentially, it was part of broader efforts to control alcohol for public health and social order.
