They confirmed in the US the so-called dry law: they banned the production, trade and transportation of alcoholic beverages

106
years ago

16 January 1919,

The so-called dry law was confirmed in the United States: they banned the production, trade and transport of alcoholic beverages. However, the strong demand for alcoholic beverages among the population led to the emergence of the black market and the enrichment of mafia leaders such as Al Capone. This highly contradictory law was in force until 1933.
