For thirteen years, from 1920 to 1933, the transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages were prohibited in America. This “Noble Experiment” was undertaken because its supporters believed that alcohol was the single major cause of both crime and poverty. They believed that prohibiting alcohol would lead to the end of poverty and slum housing in the United States and that prisons and jails would no longer be needed.
However, the precise opposite proved to be true. Prohibition led directly to rising crime rates, widespread illegal behavior amongst ordinary Americans, and a loss of respect for laws, law enforcement, and for the apparatus of government. How could something based on such good intentions go so disastrously wrong?

This book tells the story of the temperance movement in America, of its rise over a period of one hundred years to encompass the growing women’s movement, and how it eventually attained its goal in 1920. It tells the story of Prohibition itself, of how people exploited loopholes in the law to continue drinking legally, and of how they simply ignored the law and drank illegally. It tells the story of the bootleggers and corrupt officials who made fortunes from Prohibition and the politicians who supported and attacked it. This is the story of a bold experiment undertaken for the very best of reasons which led to the worst of outcomes.
A noble experiment, but a massive failure. While I knew a lot about prohibition by what my parents had told me, I didn't know what a complete failure the amendment actually was.Moderation. At least water is safe in a couple US cities. Not overseas. Storing water back in the early 1620s was an emerging science. No-one had knowledge or understanding of microorganisms, and water which had been stored in open casks quickly became undrinkable and tainted; beer, however, did not. We now know that the alcohol content of beer prevents the survival of microorganisms which means that it stays safely drinkable for much longer than plain water. All the early settlers knew was that beer could be safely ingested with nothing more than the usual ill-effects while water sometimes went bad and could make anyone who drank it seriously ill.In early America, beer wasn’t just for fun and relaxation, it was seen as an essential part of a healthy life.WCTU was striking for this period. This was the first organization to employ a permanent lobbyist whose function was to ensure that the interests of the WCTU were represented in Congress and the Senate.“the real McCoy” comes from Captain William McCoy, a successful smuggler who provided only high-quality goods which he refused to water down or cut.Around 10,000 people died as a direct result of poisons added to alcohol by the government during Prohibition. after ten years of Prohibition Americans were consuming almost the same amount as they were pre-Prohibition.after ten years of Prohibition Americans were consuming almost the same amount as they were pre-Prohibition.Competent This is a more than competent look at the history, effects and after-life of prohibition in the USA.The background is detailed and interesting, the reasons explained and the effects covered in a logical way.I expected more details on the criminal aspects during prohibition: how they operated, were financed, staffing, etc - it is mentioned, but only in passing.MOST INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE.
