The Prohibition Movement failed during the 1920s. This happened because popular opinion for laws that regulate morality tended to wane after any initial popularity. Additionally, the Depression resulted in people needing new sources of income, and legalizing alcohol provided that.

Prohibition was created by means of a constitutional amendment, that was enacted in 1920, largely as a result of the efforts of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. They were an effective special interest group.
It was probably about as effective as the current war on drugs, maybe somewhat less so because of any lack of international co-operation.
Prohibition is unlikely to be effective today due to the lessons learned from its implementation in the past. History has shown that prohibition can lead to increased crime, black markets, and challenges with enforcement. A more balanced approach focusing on education, regulation, and harm reduction measures is generally considered more effective in addressing issues related to substance abuse.
Prohibition was repealed due to its inability to reduce alcohol consumption, increase crime rates, and loss of tax revenue. The failure of Prohibition highlights the challenges of regulating drug use and moral behavior, as it showed that strict laws alone may not be effective in changing behavior. It underscores the importance of considering social, cultural, and economic factors in crafting effective policies.
La Guardia argued that prohibition was not effective in reducing crime and actually contributed to the rise of organized crime. He believed that it failed to achieve its intended goals and led to a range of negative social consequences.
The Prohibition Act, which banned the sale and production of alcohol in the United States from 1920 to 1933, was not fully effective in achieving its goals. While alcohol consumption did decrease initially, it led to a rise in organized crime and illegal alcohol production. Ultimately, the Act was repealed due to difficulties in enforcement and public discontent.
Prohibition
The demand for alcohol was met by black marketeers and the prohibition of alcohol empowered criminals, further empowered a federal government and gave rise to lawlessness. As an Amendment listed in the Bill of Rights the prohibition of alcohol is a strange right to be enumerated. I would not argue that we don't have the right to not drink alcohol. I would argue that people do have the right to drink alcohol if they so choose. Prohibition of products or resources that have clear demand in a market place never work and the current laws in the United States prohibiting certain drugs gives evidence to the failures of prohibition. Unless of course, the intent behind prohibition is to empower the petty tyrants who wish to rule. Then prohibition can be a very effective tool in grabbing power.
