Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thoughtful Article for Thoughtful People on Prohibition and Local Option: Together With Methods Suggested for the Regulation of the Liquor Traffic and for the Promotion of Temperance Liquor legislation must necessarily fol low one of two general policies. It may aim at the abolition of the liquor traffic, or at the regulation of the traffic. These two policies are extreme Opposites at every point and in every feature. The object of one is to kill, that of the other is to cure. It is on this broad question of general policy that the peoeple are divided today. No. Legislative system has ever been more extensively nor fairly tested than that of prohibition. During the last sixty years it has been tried on the statewide scale in many different sections of the country and under the most diverse social and political conditions, the periods of trial ranging from three years in Nebraska to fifty-three years in Vermont. By its re cord, by what it has done and'by what it has not done, prohibition must be judged. On every page of that record, from be ginning to end, are written the words fail ure, folly, farce. Nowhere and at no time, in all its history, has prohibition aecom plished a single one of its avowed objects. Nowhere has it abolished the liquor traffic; nowhere has it prevented the. Consumption of liquor nor lessened the evil of intemper ance. Neither as a state-wide system nor under Local Option has prohibition ever made the slightest contribution toward the solution of the liquor problem. '1he one solitary service that it has rendered to society is that of furnishing a warning ex ample oi the supreme folly of attempting to legislate virtue into men's lives.

Book excerpt: Americans have always been a hard-drinking people, but from 1920 to 1933 the country went dry. After decades of pressure from rural Protestants such as the hatchet-wielding Carry A. Nation and organizations such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union and Anti-Saloon League, the states ratified the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Bolstered by the Volstead Act, this amendment made Prohibition law: alcohol could no longer be produced, imported, transported, or sold. This bizarre episode is often humorously recalled, frequently satirized, and usually condemned. The more interesting questions, however, are how and why Prohibition came about, how Prohibition worked (and failed to work), and how Prohibition gave way to strict governmental regulation of alcohol. This book answers these questions, presenting a brief and elegant overview of the Prohibition era and its legacy. During the 1920s alcohol prices rose, quality declined, and consumption dropped. The black market thrived, filling the pockets of mobsters and bootleggers. Since beer was too bulky to hide and largely disappeared, drinkers sipped cocktails made with moonshine or poor-grade imported liquor. The all-male saloon gave way to the speakeasy, where together men and women drank, smoked, and danced to jazz. After the onset of the Great Depression, support for Prohibition collapsed because of the rise in gangster violence and the need for revenue at local, state, and federal levels. As public opinion turned, Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised to repeal Prohibition in 1932. The legalization of beer came in April 1933, followed by the Twenty-first Amendment's repeal of the Eighteenth that December. State alcohol control boards soon adopted strong regulations, and their legacies continue to influence American drinking habits. Soon after, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The alcohol problem had shifted from being a moral issue during the nineteenth century to a social, cultural, and political one during the campaign for Prohibition, and finally, to a therapeutic one involving individuals. As drinking returned to pre-Prohibition levels, a Neo-Prohibition emerged, led by groups such as Mothers against Drunk Driving, and ultimately resulted in a higher legal drinking age and other legislative measures. With his unparalleled expertise regarding American drinking patterns, W. J. Rorabaugh provides an accessible synthesis of one of the most important topics in US history, a topic that remains relevant today amidst rising concerns over binge-drinking and alcohol culture on college campuses.
