Does anyone have any information surrounding the national rate of alcohol consumption following prohibition?!
Answers: I essentially wish to know if the national rate of alcohol consumption increased after alcohol was made legal, or did it decrease? Any elaborations on this point would be greatly appreciated as well, thanks.
A review of alcohol consumption patterns during and after Prohibition shows that during most of the Prohibition era per capita alcohol consumption actually increased. After "Prohibition's repeal in 1933, consumption remained fairly stable until after the Second World War when, without any change in public policy, it began increasing."
