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.

Prohibition helped break down America's firm adherence to law and order. Prohibition caused millions of people to routinely break the law. This had long-lasting social implications, including increased contempt for government.
