Currently reading this great book about Prohibition, the banning of all alcohol from 1920 to 1933.
Originally it was "The Temperance Movement" which pushed for moderate drinking and avoiding raging drunkenness.
But like most well-meaning movements it got hijacked by the radicals in the group, they passed a wayyyy too restrictive law, and then it massively backfired and caused MORE drinking and crime.
