Maryland is known as the Free State, a moniker earned back in the 1920s when many in our state protested the federally mandated prohibition of alcohol. Despite the carping from those who thought alcohol control was a state issue, Maryland went dry just like everywhere else. Though Prohibition was ultimately repealed, throughout the 20th century government at all levels has made deeper inroads into our personal lives and pocketbooks.
