Neal Dow’s Bottle of Alcohol

Origin
Neal Dow was mayor of Portland, Maine and passed a prohibition on the manufacture and sale of alcohol in support of the temperance movement. Known as the Maine Law, it outlawed alcohol except for medicinal purposes. Dow had kept a large supply in the city, which angered citizens. Many of them were Irish immigrants, who viewed Dow’s acts as racist and hypocritical. They received a search warrant from a judge and dispersed the alcohol, although Dow later brought in the militia to beat the crowds away. Ironically, Dow was later charged for bringing in alcohol and violating his own law.

Effects
The user will become hypocritical in their actions and somewhat racist towards minority groups. They will not question their contradictory beliefs and impose their correctness over other’s opinions.
