Prohibition

Prohibition was badly enforced, eventually causing people to lose respect for the law.

It was the law so they went after the Bootleg operations and tried to close them down.

Simply put, the exemption is based on the fact that to remove the oil from a system to check for acid in the oil, the refrigerant off-gas is on the order of a half ounce vented into the atmosphere. Therefore, since QwikCheck or any other testing device that vent less than half an ounce of refrigerant, for the purpose of testing for acid does not violate the EPA venting rules.

People did not stop drinking alcoholic beverages.

The temperance movement was a reform movement that opposed excessive use of alcohol and advocated "temperance," or abstinence from alcohol. The reformers' argument was that men who drank excessively would spend most of their money on alcohol rather than on food for their families. Additionally, these men were usually very abusive.

The chart may suggest that the murder rate increased during the Prohibition period in America. This could indicate a possible correlation between prohibition and an increase in violent crime.

Prohibition was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1920 to 1933. It was intended to reduce crime, corruption, and social problems associated with alcohol consumption, but ultimately led to the rise of illegal speakeasies and bootlegging. The 18th Amendment, which established Prohibition, was later repealed by the 21st Amendment.

The temperance movement was a social and political campaign during the 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at reducing or prohibiting the consumption of alcoholic beverages, largely due to concerns about alcohol's negative effects on society, families, and health. Many leaders and proponents were women because they often faced the brunt of alcohol-related domestic issues, such as violence and poverty, and sought to protect their families and communities. Additionally, the movement provided women with a platform for activism and a way to engage in public life, which was often restricted for them during that era.

Prohibition led to an increase in organized crime as criminal groups took advantage of the illegal alcohol market. This likely influenced people's attitudes toward criminals, the law, and the police by highlighting the challenges of enforcing prohibition and the allure of breaking the law. The inability to effectively enforce the prohibition laws also raised questions about the role and effectiveness of law enforcement.

The two main groups that led the fight to start Prohibition were the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the Anti-Saloon League. Their rationale centered on the belief that alcohol was a major cause of social problems, including domestic violence, poverty, and crime. They argued that banning alcohol would lead to a healthier, more moral society and improve the lives of women and children. Their efforts culminated in the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919, which established Prohibition in the United States.

The temperance movement blamed alcohol.

That was the Act of Prohibition of Alcohol

Eliminate the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Prohibition banned the sale and production of alcohol, creating a lucrative black market for bootleggers. Organized crime groups took advantage of this demand, with figures like Al Capone becoming wealthy and powerful by supplying illegal alcohol. The violence and corruption associated with Prohibition led to the rise of organized crime syndicates in major cities across the United States.

a) Because it was widely seen as too radical a measure. The issue of 'drink and the working classes' was a problem all over the Western world, but almost everywhere the answer was public campaigns to warn about the effects of alcohol and measures to make it less easily attainable - making it more expensive by taxing it, limiting its sale to 'licensed' shops and licensing and limiting opening hours of bars.

b) Totally barring its sale and use was almost an open invitation for illegal import, production and use. Which is what happened. Prohibition was the single factor that gave organized crime the power and money to become a fixture of US society for many decades afterwards. People like Elliot Ness and the FBI made much noise about their alleged successes against illegal liquor, but most of that was self-promotion and federal agents in reality only got hold of a fraction of the liquor that was imported, produced and consumed illegally every year.

The "Temperance" movement.

Some Americans supported prohibition due to the belief that alcohol was the root cause of social problems, such as crime, domestic violence, and poverty. Many supporters were motivated by moral and religious convictions, particularly among temperance movements and religious groups who viewed alcohol consumption as sinful. Additionally, proponents argued that prohibition would improve public health and productivity, leading to a more disciplined and prosperous society.

Prominent temperance leaders in the United States included Bishop James Cannon, Jr., James Black, Ernest Cherrington, Neal S. Dow, Mary Hunt, William E. Johnson (known as "Pussyfoot" Johnson), Carrie Nation, Howard Hyde Russell, John St. John, Billy Sunday, Father Mathew, Andrew Volstead and Wayne Wheeler.
