please help

Prohibition had a notable effect on the alcohol brewing industry in the United States. Most people drink alcohol until they were drunk, they were so dependant on it that they started drinking rubbing alcohol (which makes you blind.) Crime rates shot up, and people were selling alcohol illegally, that's the problem.

what about people ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

people began to see the law as something they could easily break and the result was an increase in crime.

You can mention the mafia, which increased gang volence as they were competing for areas to sell the alcohol illegally.
