Prohibition summary The noble experiment of Prohibition was introduced by the 18th Amendment, which became effective in January 1920. Here are four reasons why Prohibition was introduced: 1  National mood - when America entered the war in 1917 the national mood also turned against drinking alcohol. 2  Practical - a ban on alcohol would boost supplies of important grains such as barley. 3  Religious - the consumption of alcohol went against God's will.
Prohibition ended with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment, which repealed the Eighteenth Amendment, on December 5, 1933. The introduction of alcohol prohibition and its subsequent enforcement in law was a hotly debated issue.fter repeal of the 18th amendment, some states continued to enforce prohibition laws. Mississippi, which had made alcohol illegal in 1907, was the last state to repeal Prohibition in 1966. Kansas did not allow sale of liquor âby the drinkâ (on-premises) until 1987.
