We do have stupid in our history.
"The repeal of the 18th Amendment came after Prohibition had lost popular support and created new problems, including organized crime and lawlessness. The black market for alcohol was well-established, and organized crime members were able to bribe police to enforce the law selectively."
And in some cases, we just added more stupid.
"After Prohibition was repealed, politicians looked for a way to quickly reduce the impact of the 18th Amendment. They chose 3.2% because a brewer named T.C. Haffenreffer testified that it was the highest alcohol content that could still be considered non-intoxicating."
