Yes, Prohibition killed many people. Some were shot by Prohibition agents, some died from drinking tainted bootleg alcohol, some were killed in traffic accidents while trying to escape capture, some were executed by organized crime, some were killed by stray bullets when mobs attacked each other, etc. Many died unnecessarily because the law prevented people from enjoying better health and greater longevity by consuming alcoholic beverages regularly and in moderation.
