The Prohibition Movement failed during the 1920s. This happened because popular opinion for laws that regulate morality tended to wane after any initial popularity. Additionally, the Depression resulted in people needing new sources of income, and legalizing alcohol provided that.

As an Amendment listed in the Bill of Rights the prohibition of alcohol is a strange right to be enumerated. I would not argue that we don't have the right to not drink alcohol. I would argue that people do have the right to drink alcohol if they so choose. Prohibition of products or resources that have clear demand in a market place never work and the current laws in the United States prohibiting certain drugs gives evidence to the failures of prohibition. Unless of course, the intent behind prohibition is to empower the petty tyrants who wish to rule. Then prohibition can be a very effective tool in grabbing power.
