Today, the 103rd anniversary of the US Congress adopted a law prohibiting all intoxicating drinks in the United States, on October 20, 1919, when the ban on alcoholic beems were ratified in the context of the eighteenth amendment to the constitution, and a year later, the prohibition of manufacturing alcoholic beings began to be validated. And what became known as the day of alcohol in the United States, its transfer and abuse.
The US Senate submitted the draught law on December 18, 1917, and 36 states approved it. It was ratified on January 16, 1919, and it went into effect on January 17, 1920. On November 18, 1918, however, the US Congress passed a temporary law that forbade the sale, production, and transmission of beverages with an alcohol content of more than 2.
75%, the law went into effect on June 30, 1919, and it was dubbed “thirsty first” because it was passed during the first world war truce in an effort to supply wheat. On October 28, 1919, President Wilson signed the “Volstide Law,” which established a legal definition for alcohol as well as penalties for manufacturing and selling.
The federal government was not serious in imposing sanctions, as in New York City alone, an estimated 30,000 to 100 thousand pubs were present, and despite the success of the law in reducing the number of alcohol consumers, it was a major reason for the growth of organized crime as the crime rate increased Unusually, the St. Valentine’s Day slaughter shocked the American public and rapidly reduced the number of law supporters.
According to Daniel Ocurt, the author of a book on the American alcohol ban, “alcohol was a pretty huge problem in the nineteenth century,” therefore it was assumed that the United States would outlaw it to preserve itself from moral and social decline.
“The effect of alcohol was a damage on the family life,” Ukrain continued.
The anti-alcoholic movement began because men started going to bars to drink alcohol and spending their families’ money on it, and they consumed so much that they couldn’t wake up the next morning to go to work because they were hitting their wives and abusing their kids sexually.
