New York City Sous-commissaire de police John A. Leach, droite, regardant l'alcool pour les agents dans les égouts à la suite d'un raid au cours de la hauteur de l'interdiction. La prohibition aux États-Unis a porté sur la fabrication, le transport, et la vente des boissons alcoolisées ; toutefois, des exceptions sont faites pour les médicaments et les usages religieux. La consommation d'alcool n'a jamais été illégal en vertu du droit fédéral. Interdiction à l'échelle nationale n'a pas commencé dans les États-Unis jusqu'en janvier 1920, lors de la dix-huitième amendement à la Constitution des États-Unis est entré en vigueur. Le 18e amendement a été ratifié en 1919.

Concern over excessive alcohol consumption began during the American colonial era, when fines were imposed for drunken behavior and for selling liquor without a license. In the eighteenth century, when drinking was a part of everyday American life, Protestant religious groups, especially the Methodists, and health reformers, including Benjamin Rush and others, urged Americans to curb their drinking habits for moral and health reasons. In particular, Benjamin Rush believed Americans were drinking hard spirits in excess, so he created "A Moral and Physical Thermometer, " displaying the progression of behaviors caused by the consumption of various alcohols. By the 1840s the temperance movement was actively encouraging individuals to immediately stop drinking. Music (a completely new genre) was composed and performed in support of the efforts, both in social contexts and in response to state legislation attempts to regulate alcohol. Many took a pledge of total abstinence (teetotalism) from drinking distilled liquor as well as beer and wine. However, the issue of slavery, and then the Civil War, overshadowed the temperance movement, and temperance groups petered out until they found new life in the 1870s. Prohibition was a major reform movement from the 1870s until the 1920s, when nationwide prohibition went into effect. Prohibition was supported by evangelical Protestant churches, especially the Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Disciples of Christ, Congregationalists, Quakers, and Scandinavian Lutherans. Opposition came from Catholics, Episcopalians, and German Lutherans. Kansas and Maine were early adopters of statewide prohibition. Following passage of the Maine law, Delaware, Ohio, Illinois, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New York, among others, soon passed statewide prohibition legislation; however, a number of these laws were overturned. Women served a special role in the temperance movement.
