What's this?

Prohibition did work in lowering per capita consumption.


Historian Jack Blocker: "The lowered level of consumption during the quarter century following Repeal, together with the large minority of abstainers, suggests that Prohibition did socialize or maintain a significant portion of the population in temperate or abstemious habits."

Prohibition might have lasted longer if the Volstead Act had not gone after beer and wine.
