Prohibition is the act of imposing ones ideals on another person. In the 1920's alcohol was one of the items that was prohibited. It started with ex-alcoholics creating a pact to not drink anymore and ended with the government completely banning it. However, like all laws and rules, people can't help but try to break them. Just like the moonshiners, people started to create secret bars that hid the alcohol whenver law enforcement came to check on places. Shelves, and tables would turn over dropping the bottles into secret cellers under the shops in the sewers. Why do you think people went through such lengths to be able to drink? From this ordeal, women sufferage movements increased and equality between genders became more apparent. Another major thing that came from the prohibition of alcohol was the realization of domestic violence. The group of people who made a pact against alcohol realized this and this was a start of new ideals. The prohibition of alcohol obviously didn't work considering the fact that today, people drink alcohol freely. Even though there is moderate prohibition, meaning minors and drivers can't drink, the use of alcohol still exsists today.
