Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Prohibition era refers to the period in American history when alcohol was banned, from 1920 to 1933. The social problems associated with this era include the rise of organized crime, bootlegging, and speakeasies. Additionally, there was an increase in corruption and bribery among law enforcement officials. These problems are often cited as arguments against restricting drugs in general, as it is believed that prohibition creates a black market and leads to an increase in crime and corruption. However, they are not arguments against prevention programs for drug abuse or encouraging chronic alcohol abuse.
