Leaders were reluctant about prohibition primarily because of the significant tax revenue generated from alcohol sales, which was crucial for funding government operations. Prohibition threatened to eliminate this income, leading to budget shortfalls and negatively impacting local economies. Additionally, the potential for increased public discontent and organized crime associated with illegal alcohol trade made leaders wary of enforcing prohibition measures. Ultimately, the economic implications and social unrest outweighed the moral arguments for banning alcohol.

Prohibition ended in 1933 primarily due to the economic pressures of the Great Depression, which heightened the need for government revenue through taxes on alcohol sales. The rise of organized crime associated with illegal alcohol also contributed to growing public disillusionment with Prohibition. Additionally, the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition, reflected changing social attitudes toward alcohol consumption and the desire for regulation over outright bans. These factors combined led to the formal end of Prohibition in December 1933.
