Congress decided to repeal Prohibition primarily due to the negative social and economic consequences it caused, such as the rise of organized crime, illegal speakeasies, and a significant loss of tax revenue. The Great Depression further intensified calls for repeal, as legalizing alcohol promised to create jobs and generate much-needed tax income.
