Answer 5

The cause of the great misery and dry hole called the prohibition era. It created speakeasies and bathtub gin.

It brought about the birth of the modern mixed drink and modern jazz clubs.

They were good times, they were bad times, they were all that jazz times.

It brought us the Roaring 20's and Harlem nights.

In short, America officially went dry and unofficially went underground and lived an alcohol fueled lascivious lifestyle in night clubs and back bars theretofore never heard of until after passage of Amendment 18.

And ... it brought us the TV series and movie, "The Untouchables".
