No. The prohibition law in the United States was not a success. Prohibition began in 1920, and was later repealed in 1933 with the ratification of the 21st amendment. Prohibition is a ban on the production and sale of alcohol. It was nearly impossible for the federal governement to enforce such a law. Prohibition led to things like the growth of the mafia and other criminal organizations that completely disregarded the federal law.
The Prohibition law in the United States was called the National Prohibition Act, also known as the Volstead Act, which enforced the 18th Amendment to the Constitution and banned the production, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933.
Prohibition led to an increase in organized crime as criminal groups took advantage of the illegal alcohol market.
