Prohibition quadrupled deaths from alcohol.
"Prohibition may actually have increased drinking and intemperance by increasing the availability of alcohol. One New
Jersey businessman claimed that there were 10 times more places one could get a drink during Prohibition than therehad been before.It is not surprising that, given their hidden locations and small size, speakeasies outnumberedsaloons. Lee found that there were twice as many speak easies in Rochester, New York, as saloons closed byProhibition. That was more or less true throughout the country."
That's because of the money that could be made.
