What was the reasoning behind prohibition, and what was its actual outcome?
What will be an ideal response?
Prohibition was in part a response to high levels of alcohol production and consumption and to social problems related to drinking and alcoholism. However, in practice, "enforcement proved to be a national scandal that gave rise to bootleggers and gang wars, police corruption, 'speakeasies,' and general disrespect for law and order." With the outbreak of the Great Depression, Congress passed the Twenty-First Amendment, repealing prohibition.
