Why the 18th Amendment Was a Failure

An attempt to ban booze in America, called the prohibition act; was by many accounts a big failure in history it's self. the 18th amendment to the was

eventually repealed in 1933. in between 1920 and 1933 when the 18th amendment was lifted many people would smuggle booze into America. there were secret

bars called "speak easys" where you needed to know a pass word to get into the place, if you did not know it or simply forgot it you could not go in and drink.

there where people called "boot leggers" who would hide a bottle of booze in there pants leg till they got it too a safe spot. many things happened during 1920 and 1933 like the depression. what stands out is the St. Valentines day massacre where a gang who was smuggling in booze trick another gang into a place and killed them all just so that they wouldn't have any competitors when it came to smuggling booze. If you worked with people like that it wasn't a safe thing to do; many people died smuggling booze into America. there is no way anyone even now a days could fully take away booze. you will always have someone sneaking it in the country. now it might have been a wonderful idea; think there would be no alcoholics and drunks in town, less people would have problems due to drinking, but the truth is there is no way that it would happen. some people no matter what you do will find a way to get a hold of it even if they have to pay gross amounts of money just to atane the drink of there choosing. yeah it lasted a while but it didn't and that is why it is a failure. the 18th amendment was a sinker to begun with and you know what that sort of thing happens from time to time and that is why the government should think longer on things like that so that they don't look bad in 12 or so years by doing something like the 18th amendment
