Of all the Christmas traditions that exist, holiday parties have become a popular and enjoyable way to ring in the season. Family, friends and coworkers come together in their best (and worst) festive sweaters to partake in a long-standing Christmas tradition to eat, drink and be merry (emphasis on drink!).<\/p>\n<p>This holiday season, I\u2019ll be celebrating a lesser-known-but-equally-important holiday known as Repeal Day. Celebrated each year on December 5 (that\u2019s today!), Repeal Day marks the 1933 end of the 14-year national ban on alcohol known as Prohibition.<\/p>\n<p>The best part about Repeal Day? It\u2019s so easy to celebrate! Just grab your favorite alcoholic beverage, and you\u2019re already exercising your right to drink and be merry! In observance of Repeal Day, below are a few watermelon-flavored beverages and watermelon-inspired recipes for those who are both naughty and nice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5078\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pic1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pic1-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pic1.jpg 640w\" alt=\"Hell or High Watermelon Wheat Beer\" width=\"384\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATERMELON BEVERAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/21st-amendment.com\/beers\/hell-or-high-watermelon\/\">Hell or High Watermelon wheat beer<\/a> \u2013 What better way to celebrate Repeal Day than with a cold, refreshing can of American rights?
