History

Historical Context

The Prohibition Era (1920-1933) began with the Eighteenth Amendment, aiming to curb alcohol consumption but instead fueling organized crime and public health crises. Initially, alcohol use declined, but illegal production surged, leading to a 24% increase in crime rates. Figures like Al Capone thrived in this environment, highlighting ongoing debates about addiction and societal responsibility, as seen in recent events like Tiger Woods' DUI arrest.
