Alcohol was banned in the United States in 1920 due to the implementation of Prohibition, following the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act. The movement was largely driven by temperance advocates who believed that alcohol was the root cause of social issues such as crime, domestic violence, and poverty. Supporters argued that banning alcohol would improve public health and moral standards. However, Prohibition led to widespread illegal production and distribution of alcohol, ultimately resulting in its repeal in 1933.
