Prohibition provided an opportunity for organized crime to make vast profits, corrupt public officials to get money with no effort, profits for moonshiners and bootleggers, and many opportunities for illegal employment.

One positive effect of prohibition was a temporary decrease in alcohol consumption and related social problems like public drunkenness and alcohol-related crimes. Prohibition also led to increased support for temperance movements and public awareness of the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption.
