Didn’t alcohol use actually go up during temperance? I swear I read some studies on that. Like that was the reason it failed – alcohol use not only increased, but the alcohol that was available became more dangerous, so temperance was reversed and regulations on how it was made and licensing were instated.
You may be thinking of prohibition when alcohol was made illegal in the USA in the 1920s.
Yep, you’re right.
