"Concern over excessive alcohol consumption" in America began in the Colonial era, and later, the "temperance" movement sought to reduce alcohol intake. Essentially, it had been brewing in the US for 60 years before it came into law.
It caused more crime throughout the states, and created gangs and violence in order to transfer the alcohol, trying to be the best at supplying the illegal alcohol. Speakeasies were also invented which were secret bars for people to drink at and let loose.
Prohibitionists finally convinced enough politicians that the time was right for an end to liquor as a legal drink. It would improve the morals of the nation, help end poverty, and make life healthier for all concerned. The ban on liquor did not work because you cannot legislate morals. As someone said at the time, "Everyone is in favor of prohibition, but no one wants to stop drinking." It also failed because the government could not stop the flow of illegal liquor into the country from Canada and Europe, and illegal "hooch" gave organized crime a "shot in the arm." Organized crime became more organized as criminal groups consolidated and began operating like a business. Following the repeal of prohibition, many crime syndicates branched out into other forms of illegal activities, including gambling and business fraud and corruption. Some labor unions became infiltrated or even controlled by organized crime. This led to the need for more enforcement, police, and federal agencies to combat the rise in crime.
The problems Prohibition cause during the 1920s is who wanted to drink found it easy to do so either by brewing their own alcohol it was legal or by buying "bootleg" liquor in illegal saloons known as speakeasies that had sprung up everywhere. Another problem it cause is illicit trade in alcohol contributed to the growth of organized crime. Prohibition may well have caused more problems than it solved.

One of the paradoxes can be the alcohol issue where, the country at the beginning of the 1920s was supporting prohibition of alcohol sales and by the end of the 1920s the people showed much hypocrisy and switched their views on prohibition which turned out as a huge failure. The part of paradox would come from the hypocrisy of people and the quick change of mindset based on prohibition.
