In the year 1920, the United States attempted a hold experiment: making the drinking of alcohol a
crime. Many people, who felt that alcohol was the root of all evil, thought that this would bring about
a new and happier age. There would be no more need for prisons, they felt, and slums would
disappear. However, in the end, new prisons had to be built for all the new criminals created by the
new law. "Prohibition", as the law was called, destroyed respect for the law and led to an increase in
organised crime, but it did not stop people from drinking. On the contrary, drinking increased during
the Prohibition period. In the end, the law had to be reversed.
