what was the goal of the 18th amendment? to reduce the number of crimes committed associated with alcohol, to force , manufacturers to find other drinks to make, to end alcohol abuse and improve americans lives, to encourage americans to spend money other on consumer goods to boost the economy

Answer 1

The main goal was to end alcohol abuse and improve Americans' lives (the aims of the temperance movement — improve health, family life, and morals and reduce alcohol-related problems, including crime). It was not intended chiefly to force manufacturers to switch products or to boost consumer spending; Prohibition instead had many unintended consequences (bootlegging, organized crime).
