History

Historical Context

The Prohibition Era in the United States, initiated by the 18th Amendment in 1920, aimed to eliminate alcohol consumption but instead fueled crime and lawlessness, with organized crime figures like Al Capone thriving. This period saw a rise in public intoxication and illegal speakeasies, reflecting ongoing societal struggles with alcohol regulation, a challenge that persists today, as evidenced by Brittany Curran's recent arrest in Burbank.
