08:28 Prohibition in the United States allowed for the transportation and importation of alcohol, but not between certain states or from Canada, and individuals were allowed to keep and consume alcohol in their homes.

12:47 The temperance movement gained momentum through effective campaigns and organizations like the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Prohibition Party, with figures like Carry Nation leading protests and arrests, and popular support for prohibition was fueled by scapegoating recent immigrants, particularly Germans and Irish, as the source of societal problems.

17:03 The 18th Amendment had no teeth, so the Volstead Act was passed to enforce penalties for violating prohibition, with exceptions for medicinal and religious use, and doctors prescribed alcohol during this time.

21:14 Prohibition led to an increase in alcohol trafficking, speakeasies, and political corruption, as well as a decrease in overall alcohol consumption but a significant increase in alcohol use when it did occur.

25:32 Prohibition led to an increase in crime and corruption, with Al Capone's empire making $100 million a year, and had a negative impact on the brewing industry and tax revenue, but also resulted in a decrease in overall alcohol consumption and a rise in alcohol-related deaths and illnesses.

38:28 Prohibition in Finland backfired, leading to a significant increase in alcohol consumption and the introduction of stronger spirits, ultimately resulting in its repeal in 1932.
