During Prohibition in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, millions of people continued to consume alcohol despite its illegal status. Estimates suggest that about 60% of American adults drank alcohol during this period. Illegal production and distribution of alcohol flourished, with speakeasies and bootlegging becoming widespread.
