Prohibition was not only a failure but caused serious and widespread social problems. In many ways, prohibition helped create organized crime, because only well-planned and led operations could distill liquor, bribe officials, deliver to restaurants and bars, and protect against others taking away the profits.

This had long-lasting social implications, including increased contempt for government.
