Abolition of Prohibition in Finland

Date: February 9, 1932 • Location: Piippola, Finland

Prohibition law is abolished in Finland after a national referendum, where 70% voted for a repeal of the law.

Prohibition is the act or practice of forbidding something by law; when used by itself the term refers to the banning of the manufacture, storage, transportation, sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The word is also used to refer to a period of time during which such bans are enforced.
