The movement that blamed all social problems on alcohol was the Temperance Movement. It emerged in the early 19th century, advocating for the reduction or elimination of alcohol consumption due to its perceived negative effects on society, including crime, poverty, and family disintegration. The movement gained significant traction and ultimately led to the Prohibition era in the United States from 1920 to 1933, when the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages were banned.
