I think you mean "What was prohibited" not "Who" because during this time period alcohol was illegal in the United Sates. This time period was know as prohibition.
Prohibition in the United States, defined by the 18th Amendment, began on January 17, 1920, during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. However, Wilson's second term was nearing its end, and he was succeeded by Warren G. Harding in March 1921. Harding served until 1923, during a time when the enforcement of Prohibition was a significant issue in American society.
The political party that predominantly supported prohibition in the United States was the Republican Party, particularly during the early 20th century. The movement was also significantly backed by the Progressive Party and various temperance organizations, including the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the Anti-Saloon League. Prohibition was enacted with the 18th Amendment in 1920, reflecting the moral and social reform ideals of the time. However, it faced substantial opposition and was ultimately repealed in 1933.
The era of Prohibition in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, is commonly characterized by the banning of alcohol production, distribution, and sales. It does not describe a time of increased public safety or a reduction in crime; rather, it led to the rise of organized crime, illegal speakeasies, and widespread disregard for the law. Additionally, it was not an era of economic prosperity, as many industries related to alcohol suffered significantly.

National Prohibition began in 1920, although many states already had imposed state-wide prohibition by this time.

Prohibition took place in America from 1920 to 1933. It was a time when alcohol was illegal to make, use, and drink.
It is difficult to determine an exact number of gangsters killed during American Prohibition (1920-1933) as records from that time period may not be complete. However, violence among rival gangs, law enforcement, and prohibition agents resulted in many deaths during that era.
The views of Americans about National Prohibition changed over time from generally favorable to generally negative. By the time of repeal, about 75% of voters opposed Prohibition.
The 18th amendment (the Volstead Act), entered America into the time called the Prohibition Era. This was January 16, 1920. The 18th amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933, when it became legal to buy and sell alcohol unless prohibited by a state law.
Organized crime as at an all time high during the 1920's due to prohibition(outlawing alcohol). The 1920's was a big partying time, so drinking was a big part of it. When people couldn't get their hands on alcohol they were willing to do anything to get it, crime. ALso they resorted to other drugs like weed, opium, heroin etc.
Prohibition was a time of social and governmental reform because women received the right to vote just before Prohibition. It was also the first time it was socially acceptable to break the law.
In some regards, the United States was a lot stricter in the 1920s. While it was called the "Roaring Twenties", it was also a time of extreme conservatism and prohibition. However, womens' suffrage was granted in 1920, so in that regard it was more relaxed.
Al Capone was a prominent organized crime leader who operated in the smuggling business during the prohibition era in the 1920s. He rose to power as a gangster in Chicago and became infamous for his involvement in bootlegging, gambling, and other illegal activities during that time.
