In 1917, Congress passed an act that controlled the materials that may be needed for the war effort. This included the grains used to make alcohol. This along with the general anti-alcohol view in Congress led to the eventual passage of the Prohibition Amendment.

How did prohibition of alcohol hurt America instead of help it?

Prohibition of alcohol, enacted through the 18th Amendment in 1920, led to a rise in organized crime as illegal production and distribution became lucrative ventures. Rather than eliminating alcohol consumption, it drove drinking underground, creating dangerous environments and unregulated products.

Ultimately, these factors contributed to the eventual repeal of Prohibition in 1933.
