What is Prohibition? Prohibition is the banning of making and selling alcohol. It was a constitutional amendment passed January 16, 1919. This amendment was set right after the ending of World War One. Domestic abuse rates were at an alltime high being one of the main reasons prohibition was being enforced. The 1920’s was known to be one of the best times in history to live. However the 1920’s was the only time in history without alcohol (unless illegal). Drinking alcohol has many pros and cons.
Drinking is known to be only associated with a bad point of view. Nevertheless, drinking does have its pros. According to Harvard.edu, if you are in good condition, moderate drinking is shown to be good for your heart and circulatory system. Some people use drinking as a coping mechanism. Although drinking is not the best coping mechanism it eases your nervous system causing a sedated effect. Drinking also has its side effects which can give a not-so-good outcome.
Drinking may be fun, but it comes with its side effects. Drinking can cause severe liver disease, cancer, and severe memory loss. During the banning of alcohol, people still found ways to have fun without it. Alcohol leads to weight gain. Alcohol is considered a drug because of how addictive it can be. Alcohol can feel like it's easing your anxiety but in reality it is raising your stress rates. Drinking can also be a big cause of abnormal sleep schedules. Is drinking really worth the risks?
Should we prohibit alcohol again? As I was saying before, the 1920’s being the only time without alcohol was also the happiest point in history. Before Prohibition domestic abuse rates skyrocketed and now, domestic abuse still takes place because of alcohol. Is alcohol really a good thing? Alcohol also has health benefits and concerns. Although there are slight health benefits of it there are also large health concerns. In my opinion I do not think we should prohibit alcohol again but I do think it would be smart to monitor alcohol use in america.

I think we shouldn't Prohibit alcohol because it could increase the crime rate due to people buying alcohol illegally. I think Prohibiting alcohol wouldn't do much to the people who are alcoholics because those people will find a way to get alcohol no matter what.
I don't think we should prohibit alcohol because a lot of people wouldn't agree with it and would fight against it. There already are people who illegally make alcohol still and I think that if we prohibit it, then it will just get worse and worse. I don't think that alcohol is worth the risk, but I can't speak for other people. I also think that I could live with prohibition as well.
Yes we should prohibite alcohol because *it is really dangerous to your body and health. Drinking is not worth the risk because it can cause a lot of health issues and make your anxitey and stress worse. I could live with prohibition.
I do not think that it should be prohibited because so many people drink it and it would lead to protests and so many people complaining about not having alcohol. I don't think drinking is worth the risk because it helps many people relax because of stressing over things they probably should not. I think I would be able to live during prohibition.
No, we should prohibit alcohol again because it helps with a lot of tax money and it also would make people start making it illegally and selling it illegally. I think drinking is worth the risk for people because alcohol helps them relax. I think I could live during prohibition.
I don't think we should prohibit alcohol again because I think it would go the same way it did the first time, or worse. I personally don't think consuming alcohol is worth the risk, especially in large amounts. I think I could live during prohibition and be fine.
honestly i dont think it would chage anything. people will always find a way to get what they want. the government tried to once and look what happened it didnt really work and people just started to do it illigaly and crim and murder went up when they started the proabition.
I agree I do not think it would change anything. I do not think alcohol should be illigal again. Everyone would find a bootlegger if it were to go illigal again. I think now people would protest and no one would follow the rules.
I don't think prohibition should be enforced again as when it was banned it brought much more crime. Some illegal smugglers and gangs would sell it causing more disasters then when it was legal. I don't think its worth the risk as it can cause many health problems if you drink enough also I would be able to live during prohibition
I agree. I do not think prohibtion should be enfored again. I think it got taken out becuase of how many problems it caused. I agree many gangsters would sell it under the counter and not get caught. I think it is not worth the risks.
