prohibition was meant to more evenly distribute and enlarge liberty by keeping intoxicated drunkards from getting out of control and hurting others. However, it was seen as an attack on civil liberty and thus failed. It wasn't though, it was actually an attack on social liberty, something very different. Unfortunately, even though much good could have come from prohibition, it failed as the result of our unwillingness to surrender any rights whatsoever. During the age of Prohibition, men held onto their liberties because it was their only control. Now, we take our rights and liberties for granted, but back then, for alcohol to be prohibited was a major insult to the masculinity and sense of control over a man's life.
