In 1920, the United States implemented Prohibition with the 18th Amendment, making the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages illegal. While drinking itself wasn't technically punishable, individuals could face legal consequences for violating the laws related to the production or distribution of alcohol. Penalties often included fines and imprisonment for those involved in illegal activities surrounding alcohol, such as bootlegging. Enforcement varied widely, leading to a culture of resistance and underground drinking establishments.
