July 1911--7,800 bottles of beer were destroyed by the city police department at the city jail; enough for every man, woman, and child in Coshocton to enjoy a bottle of beer.
The hooch had collected at the mayor's office for several months, following several police raids throughout the community.
A group of beer thirsty standers-by watched as the beer was poured down the city sewers.
I'd bet it was a time when several grown men openly weeped in unison.

When they finish with prohibitions on smoking and fast food, watch out beer and coctail lovers...they are coming for you.......... I am really surprised that someone hasn't started a campaign to eliminate alcohol consumption in bars similar to the ban on smoking....just a matter of time....There is a group in California trying to get a ballot initiative for a vote on banning smoking in private homes.
You mean they'r egoing to dump me down a sewer? Ummm...I wouldn't fit in the hole...
