When was the Prohibition Era in the US?
Prohibition in the United States
It is not clear whether Prohibition reduced per-capita consumption of alcohol. Some historians claim that alcohol consumption in the United States did not exceed pre-Prohibition levels until the 1960s;[106] others claim that alcohol consumption reached the pre-Prohibition levels several years after its enactment, and has continued to rise.[107] Cirrhosis of the liver, a symptom of alcoholism, declined nearly two-thirds during Prohibition.[108][109] In the decades after Prohibition, any stigma that had been associated with alcohol consumption was erased; according to a Gallup Poll survey conducted almost every year since 1939, two-thirds of American adults age 18 and older drink alcohol.[110]
