Nearly a century before Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey shamed Hollywood spawning the #MeToo and Time's-Up movements, popular film star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle - second at the box office only to Charlie Chaplin - stood trial for the murder of the young starlette Virginia Rappe. Some medical experts, and the court of public opinion, concluded the girl died in a sexual assault after a weekend of consuming illegal alcohol, her bladder having ruptured under Fatty's 266 pounds. But after three trials and a defense that cost Arbuckle more than did O. J. Simpson's "Dream Team," the comedian was freed. The public was never persuaded. "Everywhere today," one period commentary said, "Arbuckle's name, with its unsavory associations, is met with a sneer; everywhere indecent living is branded as 'Fatty Arbuckle stuff.'" Using contemporaneous accounts, "Forty Quarts of Liquor," - a reference to the amount of prohibition-era illegal alcohol Arbuckle's party consumed - documents Hollywood's first scandal.

Drawn from research in the manuscript records of the federal judiciary and the court reports of the Florida Supreme Court, this book examines how state and federal judges responded to the enforcement of local, state, and national prohibition in Florida. Upholding these measures often resulted in governmental encroachment on civil liberties; consequently, judges found themselves positioned to determine the scope of the liquor laws. As they balanced the rights of individuals with the power of the state, Florida judges acted independently of public opinion and based their rulings on precedent and citation of authority. To present the fullest picture possible, this text, while focusing on the efforts of the judges to uphold the spirit and the letter of the various liquor laws, it also considers the views of individuals who violated prohibition.
