Bans were put in place after alcohol was used to influence undecided voters.

"Happy hour" has a rather surprising origin story that dates back to the 1800s, but it's still illegal in these states.

I am not a superstitious person. I'm actually the opposite of that, but perhaps you don't walk under ladders or are wary of black cats. If that's the case, you should know that the strangest superstition in Missouri will forever make you fear how you drink.

Illinois has a new drinking law that involves train travel, and it went into effect immediately.
