No. Prohibition tried to prohibit drinking in the cities, but they found ways around it to sneak it into the cites.
Restricting the growth of cities.
Prohibition didn't work in cities because of widespread speakeasies, where people could obtain alcohol illegally. Additionally, corruption among law enforcement made enforcement difficult. The demand for alcohol remained high, leading to a thriving black market that fueled organized crime activities in cities.
Prohibition faced challenges in cities and urban areas due to factors such as widespread noncompliance, limited enforcement resources, and the presence of underground speakeasies that facilitated the illegal sale of alcohol. The demand for alcohol remained high in these areas, leading to a thriving black market that undermined the effectiveness of the Prohibition laws.
Prohibition
Police and politicians did not enforce prohibition laws.
The Northeast region of the US had the lowest number of prohibition arrests during the Prohibition era. Cities like New York and Philadelphia had large populations and a high concentration of organized crime, making enforcement of prohibition laws more challenging.
Big cities are old cities, and old cities often grew up around the water source for both drinking and transportation.
Immigrants in cities responded to prohibition in various ways. Some immigrants may have continued to consume alcohol illegally, while others supported and participated in the bootlegging industry. Additionally, immigrant communities often formed social clubs and organizations that provided spaces for the production and consumption of alcohol outside the reach of law enforcement.
