True or False: One reason that Prohibition was ended in the early 1930s was the loss of tax revenue from the legal sale of alcohol.

I believe that’s False? I apologize if it’s wrong. But there was no loss from ‘legal sale of alcohol’ there was greater loss of money and jobs since the Prohibition act made alcohol illegal and the Prohibition had become a public policy failure. They thought it would be a great benefit but they were wrong. With the ban of alcohol it was bad for the economy, since people worked in breweries, distilleries, saloons, and restaurants.
