Yeah, there were historic cases dating to the prohibition era/early 20th century. And there were historic laws -- largely unenforced -- that stayed on the books for a while. Laws based on total nonsense. It just got caught up as part of garden-variety moral panic.

There's definitely still an air around the spirit that it is somehow more illicit and special. Which it... really isn't.
