what's one good and bad effect of Prohibition?

3 answers

The good effect is that many people stopped drinking -- or at least drinking very much. Also the teetotalers were happy.

The bad effect was an increase in crime involved with liquor -- similar to the crimes today involving drugs. It also caused ordinary people to break the law.
Bad: People began bootlegging and smuggling alcohol from Canada, and brewing/distilling it in their basements. With caused numerous arrests.

Good: Less alcohol related accidents and deaths were recorded.
