Many Arab countries ruled by Muslim theocracies are pretty efficient in enforcing such laws.
You might also want to check out local governments, i.e. counties-particularly in the South and those in the State of Utah where Mormonism prevails.

Yes, with some people, but because of freewill there are those whose choose to rebel against any law. The sinful nature of man can well up and object to any law, but spiritual man sees the benefit of laws and good behavior. So if some people rebel does that mean a law wasn't successful. No, if the majority of people choose to follow the law for the good of the people then it is a success.

There are many cases, I'm sure, but I do know that the Alcohol Ban in America was handled well while it lasted.
Still, a law isn't enforced properly when no one breaks the law, but when the law does it's best to punish those who break the law

Yes, many Muslim countries have. When the Shah of Iran was deposed, the ruling theocracy re-instated such a law and it stuck.

I can't honestly remember back that far but I really doubt that any Government would be successful at changing human nature.
Prohibiting anything makes it more attractive .

Saudi Arabia and Turkey are few that have been successful. They have many forms of prohibition- and breaking them can be, not only shameful, but deadly.
