Although prohibitionists were defeated in 1933, they remained strong enough to influence legislation for decades and that influence can still be felt today.
The Prohibition era
1920 to 1933
During the prohibition era, measures taken to enforce the prohibition of alcohol included increased law enforcement efforts, raids on illegal alcohol production and distribution sites, and the establishment of the Volstead Act. Illegal establishments like speakeasies operated in defiance of these laws by serving alcohol discreetly, often requiring a secret password for entry, and by bribing law enforcement officials to turn a blind eye to their activities.

The Prohibition era
The Northeast region of the US had the lowest number of prohibition arrests during the Prohibition era. Cities like New York and Philadelphia had large populations and a high concentration of organized crime, making enforcement of prohibition laws more challenging.
Prohibition ended on December 5, 1933 when the 18th amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified.
