Answer :

Too much drinking and not enough self-control were the two "evils" that made the 1920s in the United States such a wild decade. The ill-fated 18th Amendment in 1919 prohibited the manufacture, sale, and distribution of liquor in the United States from 1920 to 1933.

FACTS:

Prohibition was based on the belief that it could prevent alcoholism, health problems, and social problems such as family violence.

Instead of preventing people from consuming alcohol, the ban taught them how to obtain and consume it away from the prying eyes of the law.

Alcoholics flocked to the shady bars and speakeasies that sprouted up around the city. So long as alcohol was available, regardless of its quality, revelers didn't care if they were in a high-end social club or a seedy basement of someone's apartment.

Pharmacies and religious institutions where legal alcohol consumption was permitted also became popular among the healthy and non-believers.
