The answer will depend on a wide variety of factors. In general, alcohol is not illegal, as long as its sale and consumption are done in accordance with state laws. It is usually illegal for a minor to have or consume alcohol, but the laws vary greatly between the states. The legal drinking age being 21 in the US, purchase and consumption can also be illegal. The production of alcohol is also regulated.

∙ 13y agoThe period between 1920 and 1933 was known as Prohibition in the USA. and Canada. This was a time when all sale of alcohol, transportation and handling, was illegal.
At first when we think of prohibition we think of the 1930's, the speak easies, and bootleg liquor. Hollywood has certainly glamorized the era with everyone having a drunken good time.
Yes, it was illegal and yes men and women still were able to obtain it in private establishments. But it was not all fun and games. Women started the temperance movement as a protest against alcohol.
Therefore, yes.
