What caused prohibition?

The Prohibition has many causes In the early 1900's, doctors discovered that alcohol damaged mental and physical health Laborers grew increasingly unproductive as drunkenness rose to high levels since water and milk were generally distrusted due to uncleanliness and since coffee and tea were too expensive for the average family to purchase in large amounts. This left only alcohol as a drink of choice. As a result, the laborers were absent from their jobs more and more often Since most breweries were located in Germany, the government was convinced that the economy was suffering as people kept spending money on German alcohol Nationwide, churches were appalled at the drunkenness of the American population and counseled temperance or abstinence from alcohol Due to the levels of crime in the large cities of America, the government was under the opinion that alcohol and drunkenness bred crime and chaos After considering these many factors, Congress passed the 18th Amendment, which banned the production, transportation, possession, import, and export of alcohol in all forms, excluding those used for religious or medicinal purposes.
