Prohibition, enacted in the United States from 1920 to 1933, led to a significant increase in illegal activities, including bootlegging and organized crime, as people sought to circumvent the ban on alcohol. This period also fostered a culture of defiance against government regulations, as many individuals continued to consume alcohol in speakeasies and private settings. Additionally, the economic impact was profound, as legitimate businesses suffered, and government revenues from alcohol taxes were lost. Ultimately, Prohibition influenced social norms and contributed to the eventual reevaluation of alcohol regulation in America.
