Prohibition Facts
Between 1850 and 1860, during the height of prohibition, beer production tripled from 37 million gallons in 1850 to more than 100 million gallons in 1860. This era of prohibition, unlike the constitutionally mandated Prohibition of 1920-1933, was on state-by-state basis. As the data show, the laws did little to curb the culture of alcohol consumption that was woven into the tapestry of America since its colonial founding.
