Today, my boss lectured me on the evils of alcohol and how it was 'prohibited' during the 1980s. I said nothing because he hates being corrected. FML

In the U.S. it was. In Canada where the OP is it prohibited from 1907 to 1948.

That's only PEI. In the other provinces prohibition only lasted up to 1930. :) Your boss is an idiot OP, and probably fairly young. Wouldn't they remember the 80's?

I was aware that in other providence prohibition had a shorter time period. I just stuck with the one because it was the longest one that was 1) still no where near the 1980s and 2) obviously started before prohibition in the U.S.A.

I support the OP! I say he did the right thing in that situation, unless either the job required knowing the history of prohibition or the employee's drinking was affecting his work. We are ALL going to encounter ignorance in others, but when it's from a boss or teacher it's usually better to grit one's teeth and put up with it. Aren't there other FMLs here by people who corrected their bosses on some small irrelevant matter and got fired? :-)

Stupid wannabe know-it-all bosses. My boyfriend had the same problem with his boss, but now he's the boss and doesn't have to put up with it anymore.
