not really buying this--the graph says that americans drink only slightly less nowadays than they did in the 60s and 70s...NO...I would say that they drink far less now than then...back then there were bars everywhere...and now there are hardly any...people just socialize on the phone now...back then in the 60s and 70s it was not uncommon at all for men to drive while drinking a beer...the hit song In The Summertime from the 60s/70s included a line "have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find."....people COMMONLY drank and drove back then...and the penalty for DUI was almost nothing...and you really had to be drunk to be arrested...
and then you have all the health and diet bullshit going on today...there was NONE of that in the 60s and 70s...
no, I don't believe this at all..

Not really tho
“Prohibition was successful in reducing the amount of liquor consumed, cirrhosis death rates, admissions to state mental hospitals for alcoholic psychosis, arrests for public drunkenness, and rates of absenteeism.”

Nevertheless, once Prohibition became the law of the land, many citizens decided to obey it. Referendum results in the immediate post-Volstead period showed widespread support, and the Supreme Court quickly fended off challenges to the new law. Death rates from cirrhosis and alcoholism, alcoholic psychosis hospital admissions, and drunkenness arrests all declined steeply during the latter years of the 1910s, when both the cultural and the legal climate were increasingly inhospitable to drink, and in the early years after National Prohibition went into effect. They rose after that, but generally did not reach the peaks recorded during the period 1900 to 1915. After Repeal, when tax data permit better-founded consumption estimates than we have for the Prohibition Era, per capita annual consumption stood at 1.2 US gallons (4.5 liters), less than half the level of the pre-Prohibition period.32

Although organized crime flourished under its sway, Prohibition was not responsible for its appearance, as organized crime’s post-Repeal persistence has demonstrated. Drinking habits underwent a drastic change during the Prohibition Era, and Prohibition’s flattening effect on per capita consumption continued long after Repeal, as did a substantial hard core of popular support for Prohibition’s return. Repeal itself became possible in 1933 primarily because of a radically altered economic context—the Great Depression. Nevertheless, the failure of National Prohibition continues to be cited without contradiction in debates over matters ranging from the proper scope of government action to specific issues such as control of other consciousness-altering drugs, smoking, and guns.
