Seems like it was alcohol.

Fuck off with your shitty /tv/ spam and start a thread topic like a normal human being instead of a robotic underaged memester.

Men didn't really tone down on the alcohol back then and that led to a lot of failed marriages and domestic abuse.

Alcohol abuse were symptoms of shitty lives, but back then they assumed it was the source of all problems.

Also this.

Alcoholism was a legitimate social ill, they just went about it all wrong.

Or did they? Prohibition may have failed, but alcoholism before and after prohibition were treated fundamentally differently.

They were our great great grandparent's SJWs.

They attempted to use prohibitionism to talk about the domestic abuse suffered by women without going all out about it. Noble, but ultimately damaged their reputation for a couple of decades.

Alcoholism was, and remains, a huge problem in our society

In political terms they were useful for posturing but very rarely did any level of Government actually pursue the law as they should have.

The agency that was supposed to be stopping the influx and distribution of alcohol was woefully underfunded. So they couldn't make it expensive enough for crime to not draw a profit.

In the present day war on drugs the level of sophistication on the illegal parts is so high that no amount of money or manpower can really pull off removing it. They'd be better off improving quality of life so that people don't feel compelled to abuse.

All the men were busy dying in WWI to keep the cunts in check
