1. Wrong Decision
…… Wrong Prohibition
Is it really efficient to stop Americans from
drinking?
The answer is NO
 Many Americans broke the prohibition right after
it was passed
 Gangsters were pretty much involved in
manufacturing and
distributing illegal liquor.
 The number of illegal speakeasies and nightclubs
even rapidly
grew since the prohibition was passed.

2. Prohibition
Prohibition was a disaster, as nearly everyone must know.
By banning the legal sale of alcohol, the Eighteenth (and stupidest) Amendment to
the Constitution, enacted in 1919, effectively promoted illegal sales of sometimes
toxic substitutes, spawned lucrative new criminal enterprises, and greatly increased
police corruption without decreasing alcohol consumption
