During the Prohibition era in the United States (1920-1933), the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages were banned. Public destruction of barrels of alcohol was intended to symbolize the government's commitment to enforcing the law and to discourage illegal drinking. These public displays were also meant to promote the moral and social goals of Prohibition, as supporters believed that eliminating alcohol would reduce crime and improve public health. Such actions highlighted the tensions between enforcement efforts and widespread public resistance to the prohibition laws.
