Answer:

The Volstead Act established a Prohibition Bureau in the Treasury Department in 1919. It was suppose to oversee industries that illegally used alcohol, and patrol highways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Volstead Act made it illegal to “manufacture, sell, barter, transport, import, export, deliver, furnish, or possess” such beverages. The government needed a way to enforce this.
