Harmful. It was eventually repealed in 1933 since it promoted the sale of alcohol on the black market and the rise of crime bosses, such as Al Capone, who gained so much money from selling alcohol illegally that they became "untouchable". Al Capone was notoriously famous for corrupting the police and the courts.
