Prohibition was affective for many people; engendering feelings that caused many honest, law abiding citizens to become lawbreakers. However, I don't think this question meant how people's emotions were involved, I'm sure it meant how effective was prohibition:

National Prohibition led to widespread violations of the laws against producing and selling Alcoholic Beverages; promoted organized prime; led to widespread violence; denied the Treasury of much needed tax revenue; greatly increased costs of law enforcement; promoted disrespect for law; led to the rapid consumption of large amounts of alcohol; led to blindness, paralysis and death from tainted bootleg alcohol; and led to widespread corruption of law enforcement and politicians, among many other problems.

However, even today some people argue that Prohibition was a success.
