It could be eather way. yes and no.

YES-the women and business companies used Propaganda and moral suasion (attempting to persuade) to address the problem. When this happened the consumption of liquor extremely reduced for some time.

NO- after the temperance movement was passed, people started getting angry about they cant be told what they can and cant do, so the drinking started again and liquor consumption increased again.

NOTE_ the temperance movement was an effort to encourage moderation in the consumption of intoxicated liquor..but it wasn't a law yet..after the nation saw it worked they passed the law of the temperance movement and thats when men started "rebeling" and started drinking again.
