Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Film-makers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick examine the law concerning Prohibition in a five-part series. Since the pilgrims loaded the hold of the Mayflower with beer and alcohol, its attendant rituals have been at least as American as apple pie. However, as a wave of ideological fervour sweeps the country, many begin to see alcohol as an impediment to a Protestant utopia of clean and righteous living, eventually outlawing it in the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Part of 5.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Prohibition. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
A Nation of Drunkards is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 1 out of 3, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h 38m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
