Alcoholic ban (1920 - 33) - "noble experiment" - the purpose of reducing crime and corruption, solving social problems, reducing tax burdens caused by prisons and slums, and improving health and sanitation in the United States I am doing. The result of this experiment clearly shows that it is a tragic failure in every aspect. Evidence confirms a sound economic theory that predicts mutually beneficial exchanges ban is destined to fail.
The lesson of the ban is still important today. They apply not only to discussions on drug war but also to dramatically reduce access to alcohol and tobacco in addition to issues such as reviews and prohibitions on insider trading, abortion, gambling and so on. [1]
Alcohol intake was decreasing at the beginning of the Sanction Law Order, but it increased. Increased risk of alcohol, crime increased "organized", courts and prison systems expanded to breakout points, civil service corruption is rampant. Measurable results have not been obtained in terms of reduced productivity and absenteeism. This prohibition eliminated important sources of revenue and increased government spending significantly. It has led many drunkards to transform into opiates, cannabis, patented medicines, cocaine and other dangerous substances that are unlikely to be encountered without alcohol bans.
These results come from various sources, mostly ironically due to the work of proponents of abstinence law - most economists and social scientists support it. Their discovery made the case prohibiting ban more powerful. [2]
Despite these very high intentions, the alcohol ban has failed in every way. Alcohol consumption decreases abruptly at the beginning of the order of abstinence, but it will recover soon. Alcohol consumption accounts for 60% to 70% of the prohibited alcohol level in a few years 2 The efficacy and quality of alcohol-producing alcohol are significantly different, resulting in catastrophic health effects including alcoholism and overdose I will. Death The prohibition of the purchase of legal alcohol, many former alcohol users switched to opium, cocaine and other dangerous medicines. 3 The criminal group was formed for the manufacture and sale of illegal alcohol, increased crime and extensive corruption. In light of these failures, the 18 th fix was finally abolished in 1933.
From 1920 to 1933, production, transportation and sale of alcohol was banned at the 18th amendment of the US Constitution. After the prohibition proved unsuccessful, the 18 th revision granted the State the right to enact its own alcohol law. Today, in each province and the District of Columbia, as a law enforcement body for illegal trafficking, a unique alcohol management committee to manage federal, federal agencies, alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives agencies in each state There is. Help criminal and alcoholic criminal and terrorist organizations, and state, state, and other federal law enforcement agencies and tax authorities investigate inter-state tobacco and alcohol transactions 450.
The use of alcohol and other medicines, the ban on failure is obvious. From the 1920s to the early 1930s, the prohibition was abolished but it did not eliminate alcohol consumption; it not only resulted in the death of thousands of drug addictive alcohol. . With the occurrence of organized crime and life-threatening diseases, supply was deported underground and the US imprisoned citizens with incredible human and economic costs more than any other country.
