By 1916, there were approximately 1,300 breweries in the country. But four years later, a nationwide ban on alcohol went into effect. Only a handful of breweries were still standing when Prohibition lifted in 1933. Their secret? Switching production to something other than beer.

America's unique gun violence problem, in 17 maps and charts
America is an exceptional country when it comes to guns. It's one of the few countries in which the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected, and presidential candidates in other nations don't cook bacon with guns.
