prohibitation

                 Prohibition is defined as the act of forbidding something, especially by law. Prohibition had greatly impacted the alcohol brewing business when alcohol was banned. during that time there were many bootleggers, which were people who sold alcohol illegally without registration or payment of taxes. There were also many speakeasy's which were saloon's or nightclubs that sold alcoholic beverages illegally. Which I don't really blame them because there are people that make a living off of selling alcohol and for it to be banned takes away so many peoples money income. During post- prohibition only half of the breweries that had been open reopened.
