The prohibition movement was anti-immigrant esp. anti German and Irish. Because they were Catholics. And hence, they were allowed to enjoy the fruit of the vine, and many made their livings that way. The Know Nothings and anti Catholics,
the MEN with the BUCKS recruited (YES!) and funded those femi-nazis who even took hatchets to neighborhood gathering places of peaceable families which served beer. Went on to fund, promote the vote for women. MEN voted in the vote for women BTW.
BTW though, after WW II the women were encouraged to go back home, because the millions of vets needed jobs to come back home to. Hence the glorious 1950s, when a man could raise a family with a house and a car on his income. And women were happy to raise their children, and shared recipes, and Betty Crocker and Father Knows Best were standards in the home.
I grew up then. We were HAPPY then! But then someone had to come along and ruin it all . . . feminism and corporatism forcing wives and mothers into the LABOR WORK FORCE for an INCOME which has in the meantime become ESSENTIAL for a decent family standard of living. SHEESH!
The alcoholism rate went from 25% to 10% after that. Personally I think alcoholism is destructive, so its reduction was a good outcome. There has been a big campaign against smoking too, and now it's much reduced. Another good outcome. But opinions denigrating women in general or men in general are bs manipulations to create divisiveness, IMHO. In other words, both are attacks on humanity in general.
Have you heard about all the deaths from bad alcohol? My Dad said you couldn't believe what happened during Prohibition, there were fights, people were crazy. After it was repealed, things went back to normal.
It was Prohibition, more than WW I.

Yes, prohibition was definitely a contributing factor. I had forgotten about that one. There are so many.
Yes, prohibition empowered the women's movement, and those "ladies" were NOT NICE!
They wanted to impose THEIR views on other people who were enjoying their beers and wines peaceably. THEY WERE WRONG! Prohibition HAD to be repealed!
AFTER destroying so many legitimate businesses, heck entire industries!
But the women's movement has not been rolled back accordingly.

Soooooooo AGREE!!
Catholics are still a problem. Do you think it is a coincidence that so many Democrats are Catholic?
They call themselves Catholic. They are traitors from within.
