The Ken Burns on that was 180. Was interesting to see what led to it. Seemed like shit had gotten pretty bad and people just didn't know what else to do. It was like the opioid epidemic x 100. But then the cure was worse than the disease and they were like "fuck it, we're going back"

It enriched a large amount of criminal families who then began to become legitimate over the next 20-50 years after the its repeal and then rose to prominent positions in government, industry and finance.

Alcohol consumption levels went down during Prohibition and remained substantially lower than their pre-Prohibition levels after the 18th Amendment was repealed. They remain so to this day.

You can argue that it was a Pyrrhic victory, but it did achieve its basic goal.

People who are inclined to drink heavily and are prevented from doing so will just find another outlet for their pathos. Even if you are against alcohol consumption (and I certainly am not) there is no angle where Prohibition was anything but a resounding failure.

not sure what you're defining as "alcohol consumption levels" but alcohol consumption per capita is essentially the same today as the pre-Prohibition peak and exceeded it from the mid 60s to the mid 80s

It was largely attached to womens suffrage movements and early feminism and progressives.

funny how when you try to "solve" societal problems you end up creating newer, possibly more insidious ones. what aspect of society is even not a "problem"? anything can be construed as a problem depending on the appraiser's pathology.
