that was when women started voting, and they were probably married to a bunch of drunk, partying men who didn't help with the kids or hurt them, so they voted that drinking should be illegal

Prohibition was imposed to reduce the consumption of liquor, beer and wine.
But it did not work and make some people very rich as they sold it (bootlegged) out the back door so to speak.

For the same reason marijuana is illegal now and some want to outlaw cigarettes. The do gooders knew alcohol was harmful and decided to legislate peoples actions for their own good.
