The lifting of prohibition in the United States made the whole country happy.

1920 17 10/7 00: 00, the amendment to the American constitution, Prohibition Act (also known as Voltaire Act), came into effect. According to this law, it is illegal to manufacture, sell or even transport drinks with alcohol content above 0.5%. It is not illegal to drink at home by yourself, and it is illegal to drink with friends or hold a banquet. The maximum penalty is a fine of 65,438 yuan+0,000 yuan and imprisonment for half a year. Only people over 2 1 year old can buy alcohol, and they need to show proof of age, and they can only buy it in limited places.

A constitutional amendment prohibiting the brewing, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States. Industrial capitalists believe that workers' drinking affects labor discipline and production efficiency, so under their pressure, Congress promulgated the 18th amendment of the Constitution in 19 19: "One year after the approval of this article, it is forbidden to manufacture, sell or transport alcoholic beverages in the United States and the land under its jurisdiction. Export or import to the United States and territories under its jurisdiction should also be prohibited. " This amendment has also been supported by American Protestants, because they have the ideological tendency of abstinence, austerity and self-control, and prohibition of alcohol meets their requirements. However, the implementation of this amendment has caused new crimes of illegal brewing, selling and smuggling of alcoholic beverages, and the federal and state governments need to supplement their fiscal revenue with alcohol taxes. 1933, Congress promulgated the 20th amendment to the Constitution, abolishing the prohibition of alcohol.

Americans have declared war on wine since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Many early immigrants abandoned their homeland in Europe for religious reasons and came to this wilderness. These American founders, known as Puritans, crossed the Atlantic with their religious enthusiasm, making it an extremely important factor in the formation of the American country. "Puritans" are also called those who advocate fearing God and living a clean life. By the middle of the19th century, residents in some parts of the United States began to sue people who drank too much through legal means. This folk movement broke out one after another and finally set off a spring tide at the beginning of the 20th century.

1920 17 10/7 00: 00, the amendment to the American constitution, Prohibition Act (also known as Voltaire Act), came into effect. The determination to amend the constitution to achieve the goal of prohibition of alcohol is not small, and the federal government is active in law enforcement, but it has encountered great resistance from the beginning. Because there are many people who drink alcohol, most of them just taste it, not alcoholics. Now the jar is completely broken, and everyone can't drink a drop. They think it's too radical. These people were angry at first, but then they played tricks and had a few drinks. Repeatedly, the prohibition of alcohol in the United States will be difficult to maintain. More importantly, the prohibition of alcohol in the United States has brought serious social problems. Prohibition can never eliminate people's desire and demand for drinking. While the formal market was banned, the underground black market developed rapidly. The huge profits from the illegal manufacture and sale of alcoholic products have deeply tapped the potential of wine merchants: some people hollowed out the middle of Ford cars, some people smuggled wine and brandy in strollers, and some people installed fake doors in the places where they hid alcohol at home. What is particularly serious is that before the prohibition was implemented, the underworld in the United States was stagnant because there was no capital base. After the implementation of prohibition, the underworld in the United States began to grow and develop with the huge profits brought by the private wine trade. At the same time, the police are increasingly corrupt and the crime rate is rising.

Due to the above problems, by the end of the 1920s, about 10 years after the promulgation of the prohibition law in the United States, many Americans began to call for relaxation. Perhaps it was because the United States was in the midst of a great economic crisis and the whole country was in a panic, and the prohibition of alcohol was even more unnecessary. 1932, franklin roosevelt, a Democrat, made prohibition one of his platforms when he ran for president. 1933 In February, the U.S. Congress passed the 2nd1amendment to the Constitution, canceling the 8th amendment to the prohibition of alcohol. The following year, as Utah became the 36th state to sign this relaxation bill, the national prohibition of alcohol in the United States came to an end. ? Although prohibition of alcohol as a national policy has long been a thing of the past in the United States, local prohibition of alcohol and other related measures have not disappeared. Until 1966, some States in the United States still banned alcohol. Even today, some small towns in America are still teetotal. People say that America is a pluralistic country, which is true.
