On January 17, 1920, less than one hour after spirits had become illegal throughout the United States, armed men robbed a Chicago freight train and made off with thousands of dollars worth of whiskey. It was a first taste of the unintended consequences of Prohibition. So what exactly was Prohibition, and why did it happen? Rod Phillips investigates this chapter of American history.

To say prohibition had not brought the improvements it promised is only half true. While it contributed to organized crime, alchohol prices went up and the drinks were watered down because of the difficulty of obtaining it. During prohibition both domestic abuse and automobile fatalities decreased, and the ammendment was repealed in order to get us out of the depression, not because of it's ineffectiveness.

ok guys, so i'm in a pretty religious country which means alcohol is a sensitive issue. only certain people are banned from alcohol beverages for religious purposes. however, there is always a debate over it especially from the conservatives. i'd like to hear your thoughts in details whether banning alcohol is aactually a good idea or not.

alcohol made
you hit your wife, hit your son, turns you into a smelly foul mouth demon that loves to cuss people for his own pleasure, lack dignity, nobility, calibrity, calmness, self control, perseverance, patience and whatever is good. if you respect yourself as a human being DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL

The background music really reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde soundtrack, especially when they were running from the cops, I really recommend that iconic film

Alcohol is a fundamental problem in poverty and domestic violence. Well facts are that there is a decent amount of truth behind that.

The government added extra harmful chemicals to prevent ppl drinking industrial alcohol? They'd rather kill Americans?
