Question

Was the 18th Amendment prohibition a success or failure?

Answer 1

failure

Step-by-step explanation:

Although prohibition did decrease the amount of alcohol Americans consumed, it failed utterly to stop that consumption.

Answer 2

It was a political failure

Step-by-step explanation:

The policy was a political failure, leading to its repeal in 1933 through the 21st Amendment. There's also a widespread belief that Prohibition failed at even reducing drinking and led to an increase in violence as criminal groups took advantage of a large black market for booze.
