What is Prohitition?

Prohibition refers to the legal act of forbidding the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages. In the United States, it was enacted through the 18th Amendment in 1920 and lasted until its repeal in 1933 with the 21st Amendment. The movement aimed to reduce crime and corruption, improve health, and promote moral standards, but it ultimately led to widespread illegal activities and the rise of organized crime. Prohibition is often cited as a significant social experiment with complex consequences on American society.
