Best Answer

The whiskey rebellion occurred twice in early US history. The first occurrence was a tax that Britain used to charge the colonies for Alcoholic Beverages. The second time the whiskey rebellion occurred before prohibition was when the new colonies began charging a luxury tax to distilled spirits to pay for the revolutionary war.
