@MichaelHauda @billgoldwater The camel represents the Prohibition Party because, like Prohibitionists, camels don't drink very often, and, when they do drink, they drink only water. Originally a dromedary, the symbol later changed to the Bactrian camel in order not to be associated with Camel Cigarettes.

Before 1920, the richest Americans stockpiled wine and spirits before Prohibition began. They had the legal right to possess what they'd bought. The wet elite never actually gave up alcohol. They just made it a class privilege.
