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.

Prohibition was created by means of a constitutional amendment, that was enacted in 1920, largely as a result of the efforts of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. They were an effective special interest group.
It was probably about as effective as the current war on drugs, maybe somewhat less so because of any lack of international co-operation.
Prohibition
The demand for alcohol was met by black marketeers and the prohibition of alcohol empowered criminals, further empowered a federal government and gave rise to lawlessness. 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.
