Prohibition’s claimed achievements in society and economy
Prohibition allegedly reduced liquor consumption from 4.08 to 20.2 per capita since 1850 and 1917 respectively, eliminated liquor advertising, strengthened public support against the saloon, and made drunkenness a news topic. It claims declines in alcohol deaths, cirrhosis, youth intoxication, and a shift to milk, ice cream, and soft drinks. It cites increased savings, life insurance, and building society memberships, plus higher government revenue and living standards, with wage gains and education expansion, as evidence of recovery from unemployment.
