During Prohibition, federal authorities faced significant challenges in enforcing the ban on alcohol due to widespread public opposition and the creation of a black market. Corruption among law enforcement officials and politicians undermined enforcement efforts, as many accepted bribes from bootleggers and speakeasies. Additionally, the sheer volume of illegal production and distribution made it difficult for authorities to effectively regulate and control the situation. The cultural acceptance of drinking and social gatherings around alcohol further complicated enforcement efforts.
