There was plenty of warning before prohibition went into effect. Liquor keeps well and people who drank stock-piled it. After supplies began to run out, people made their own and brought it in from Canada and Mexico. Every city of any size had places where liquor could be purchased. There were brothels and "private" clubs that had liquor available. Police were often bribed to look the other way. Even before prohibition there were people who made and sold "moonshine" (Illegal liquor) in order to avoid paying taxes on it. Prohibition brought these people more business.
The Prohibition is viewed by many as a complete and total failure. This is true only if you look at whether or not it did what it was created to do, which was to stop the consumption of alcohol. It did not stop the consumption of alcohol, but it did lessen the amount of people who did drink by about 25 percent compared to the amount that drank before the 1920's. Also, it proved that we have a higher system of government that can adapt to the changes of the needs of the people. A government that admits that it was wrong and then corrects that mistake. The prohibition was both a failure and a success.
