Detailed explanation-1: -National prohibition of alcohol (1920–33)-the “noble experiment”-was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce the tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prohibition is the act or practice of forbidding something by law; more particularly the term refers to the banning of the manufacture, storage (whether in barrels or in bottles), transportation, sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prohibition was a nationwide ban on the sale and import of alcoholic beverages that lasted from 1920 to 1933. Protestants, Progressives, and women all spearheaded the drive to institute Prohibition. Prohibition led directly to the rise of organized crime.
Detailed explanation-4: -Consumption fell sharply by 1916, with the average falling to two gallons a year, or 10 drinks a week. The Prohibition movement and the local dry laws that preceded it appeared to already be having an impact.
