Because
That was the Temperance movement, popular around the last turn of the century.

It could be eather way. yes and no. YES-the women and business companies used propaganda and moral suasion (attempting to persuade) to address the problem. When this happened the consumption of liquor extremely reduced for some time. NO- after the temperance movement was passed, people started getting angry about they cant be told what they can and cant do, so the drinking started again and liquor consumption increased again. NOTE_ the temperance movement was an effort to encourage moderation in the consumption of intoxicated liquor..but it wasn't a law yet..after the nation saw it worked they passed the law of the temperance movement and thats when men started "rebeling" and started drinking again.
There is not a national orgaization that encompasses the whole women's movement. Many orgs participate in the movement.
In the United States, the temperance movement effectively ended when the 18th Amendment was ratified, which was followed by passage of the Volstead Act. These events took place in 1919, on January 16 and October 28 respectively, and the law banning distribution of alcohol went into effect on January 17, 1920. Prohibition, in the United States, was an utter failure, and was ended with a repeal of the Volstead Act on December 5, 1933.

Is this about US History? If so, good examples from the 19th century include the Abolitionist movement, aimed at abolishing slavery. Another is the temperance movement, with strong leadership from the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and another is the women's suffrage movement seeking voting rights for women. In the 20th century, the Civil Rights Movement, the feminist movement and the anti-abortion movement are good examples (the latter two frequently opposed each other).
Members of the temperance movement wanted to outlaw the drinking and selling of alcoholic beverages. Many we women whom had had bad experiences with alcohol. For instance, Carrie Nation's husband became an alcoholic, and died. For this reason, Nation decided to work to outlaw alcohol.

Carrie Nation was the temperance leader known for smashing saloons with a hatchet during the temperance movement in the early 1900s. She believed that alcohol was the root of many societal problems and took drastic actions to promote temperance.
Business owners supported the temperance movement because they didn't want their workers to be drunk while they were supposed to be working.
The Temperance Movement happened because some people in society viewed the way others were living their lives to be contrary to what they believed was right. It wasn't necessarily unjustified; most temperance dealt with the very social issue of alcoholism and the need to have moderation. When the Temperance Movement began dictating how others should live their lives and judging those who did not, a false sense of moral superiority came over the Movement. This led to laws being enacted that dictated moral behavior, or what they defined as moral behavior. While the Temperance Movement is no longer considered active, in many ways the same sense of moral superiority still exists today and a great many people believe that their opinions and views should be legislated and therefore forced on those who disagree with them.

An early temperance movement began during the American Revolution in advocating temperance rather than abstinence and taking positions on moral issues.
Many problems in society like poverty, homelessness, and laziness would be solved if alcohol were made illegal.
