Prohibition was difficult to enforce due to widespread public opposition, lack of resources for enforcement, and the rise of organized crime involvement in illegal alcohol production and distribution. Additionally, the ban on alcohol led to underground speakeasies and an increase in corruption among law enforcement officials.
The problem is similar to the difficulty in enforcing the ban on marijuana or stopping the sale of moonshine. Alcohol is easy to make and was legal in Canada and Mexico and Europe and so was easy to find and smuggle back into the US. There was a steady demand for it and the prohibition drove up the price and made it more lucrative to sell it. Many people did not feel any moral obligation to obey prohibition laws or report people who broke them. Often the local police liked to drink and looked the other way when they found liquor especially if they were given a share.
The Prohibition Party, which still exists in the US, calls for the prohibition of the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Illegal production and distribution of alcoholic beverages prevailed, and the US government did not have the means or desire to enforce the prohibition required by the act.

Prohibition set itself directly contrary to that.
