    No it didn’t. Alcohol sales increased during prohibition. A lot of people got rich through the sale of alcohol flooding through from Canada.

      Alcohol sales did not increase, though it did make a small number of people rich, that is true. That doesn’t change the fact prohibition was successful in greatly reducing alcohol consumption.
