More about the prohibition
As many of you may know, alcohol was legalized just a few months ago on March 22, 1933. President Franklin Roosevelt signed a law legalizing alcohol content of 3.2% (by weight) and wine of similarly low alcohol conent. In December 5, 1933 the Twenty-first amendment was broken. However, it is still illegal to produce alcohol without a license. Alcohol was banned from the 1920's until now, 1933. This dry movement was led by rural Protestantsin both political parties. It was led by the Anti-Saloon League. The Volsteed Act made the rules for enforcing the ban and they decided which alcoholic drinks were allowed and which were not. Owning alcohol or drinking it privately was not illegal under federal law. In some areas, local laws were stricter and in some they banned possession outright. The federal government did little to enforce the prohibition of alcohol. In New York City alone, there were 30,000 to 100,000 speakeasy clubs, this was only in 1925. A speakeasy is an establishment that illegally sells alcoholic beverages.
Even though the prohibition had helped with reducing the consumption of alcohol, it caused more underground criminal activity. For example, the prohibition is what led to the Valentine's Day Massacre. Prohibition had the opposite effect it was supposed to have.
