There wasn't one. All the arguments for prohibition basically boiled down to "people are too stupid for their own good", which is certainly true, but the problem was that making alcohol illegal didn't make them any smarter, it just made them more willing to break the law.
Prohibition wasn't good because it failed and led to massive social and other problems.

Some criminals that could or would not be prosecuted for other crimes were jailed and/or fined for violating prohibition. Other than that, very little good came out of any prohibition.
Prohibition was repealed because about 75% of U.S. voters came to believe that it caused much more harm than any good.
There is no question that the temperance movement, particularly, the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), was the most important political force which resulted in Prohibition in 1920. There could never have been Prohibition without the WCTU.
A major reason for ending Prohibition was the significant increase in organized crime and illegal alcohol trade, which undermined law enforcement and public safety. Additionally, the economic pressures of the Great Depression led to a push for the government to legalize and tax alcohol to generate revenue. The failure of Prohibition to achieve its intended goals, coupled with changing social attitudes towards drinking, also contributed to its repeal.
One reason was that congress outlawed the closed shop
