The official nickname for Kansas is The Sunflower State (the sunflower is also the state flower of Kansas and appears on the state flag and the Kansas state quarter). The alcohol laws of Kansas are among the strictest in the United States. Kansas liquor laws date back to 1881 during prohibition when it was the first state to constitutionally ban alcohol, statewide. The complete ban remained in effect until 1948. Since then there have only been minor changes to the law leaving Kansas with one of the most antiquated liquor laws in the country.
