∙ 12y agoAlthough alcohol was illegal, people did not stop drinking it. The illegal importation, production, and sale of alcohol funded vast criminal enterprises.
The operations of gangs undermined law enforcement and threatened public safety, especially in cities such as Chicago. Criminal gangs, already involved in drugs, prostitution, and gambling, added illegal speakeasies to their empires, rapidly profiting from the continued demand for alcohol. Men such as Al Capone fought other gangs to consolidate their control, and bribed public officials and judges to avoid prosecution.
