In answer to 'What started' prohibition, it is probably best to say :

Substantial pressure from the 'Temperance' movement. The biggest players in the Temperance movement were the 'women's Christian temperance union' which would preach anti alcoholic lessons to children in school, preach morals and spread prohibitionist Propaganda. All this led to the 'Volstead Act' which banned alcohol and all 'intoxicating liquors'.

hope that helps.
