California Proposition 2 (1916)
From Ballotpedia
Proposition 2 appeared on the ballot in California in 1916 as an initiated constitutional amendment. Its goal was to define liquor, and then prohibit its use.
It was defeated at the polls.
The Prohibition Amendment had appeared on the California ballot, and been defeated, just two short years earlier.
Two other alcohol-related measures appeared on the 1914 California ballot--California Proposition 39 (1914) and California Proposition 47 (1914)--both of which were geared toward mitigating the impact of the drive to prohibit alcohol in the state.
California Proposition 1 (1916) also appeared on the 1916 ballot--it also lost--which was a softened version of the 1914 Prohibition Amendment.
