My grandfather insisted on never being seen in public with an alcoholic beverage because his father (who was around for Prohibition) taught him to NEVER, EVER, be seen with alcohol. It’s created some pretty funny scenarios over the years, especially around the holidays and family gatherings.

What I always found amusing about Carrie Nation was that her middle name was Amelia and thus it was Carrie A. Nation. Great job so far in analysis.

I'm a simple man. I see Mr. Terry and Oversimplified, I click.

I love how the 'is cereal a soup?' debate has become a pillar of the channel

[joshjones]

The three things guaranteed in my life: death, taxes, and watching Mr Terry react to oversimplified

For the part about doctors prescribing alcohol, my grandfather was prescribed beer as a blood thinner. So even in the nursing home, they would bring him a beer every day off the medicine cart.

I feel like there needs to be more "Oversimplified" type of videos for other subjects (like chemistry, biology, math, ect), it's such an effective tool to use for teaching that gets people interested in learning.

A little Bittersweet for me mostly because I love his reaction to oversimplified, but I also don't like the fact that everybody kept on bugging him about it while he was on another series.

"People don't actually put toilet paper the wrong way right?"

You don't know the extent to which some scum will go to spread chaos in our world.

I've already watched the oversimplified video, but I always come here to get even more insight to history cause history I like history, did I say history?

This is so interesting, it needs two parts.

The general public being afraid of women praying is somehow the funniest thing ever

24:23 The top part means alcohol consumption is so high, they string together an actual sentence lol

[nicolasboldon]

From what I understood drinking started becoming a larger problem in the U.S. as drinks with higher alcohol content became more wide spread and couple that with industrialization and you get a recipe for disaster. I also remember hearing that it was not uncommon for farmers in New England to have hard cider before going to work and that alcoholic beverages were a source of needed calories for laborers (especially farmers) and was often times safer than drinking water.

I really like how your channel evolves, the only reaction streamer worth watching.

I was kind of surprised there wasn't a Billy Sunday reference in there anywhere. His transformation from debauched baseball player to fiery temperance-touting street preacher was a huge brick in the wall of the movement.

Have watched the original several times; several reactions to this also.
Watching again because Mr. Terry's view:

Worth it!
