Prohibition

What happens when government gives in to temporary societal pressures without thinking of the long run? You get pages in history like those that describe the United States Prohibition on alcohol in the twentieth century.

This was an event that leaves many people today scratching their heads the more they learn about it. More or less, because of a rising tide of angry people petitioning the government, their demands were met, which gave way to truly dire consequences we can still feel today. Obviously in the modern day this ban no longer exists, but the problems in our society that sprouted up in that time are ones that still harm us.
