in 1919, the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banned the manufacture, sale and transportation of liquor. Millions of people in small towns and large cities imbibed at secret bars called speakeasies.

Speakeasies were hidden secret establishments (usually underground) that sold alcohol illegally. Sometimes they were disguised as coffee shops, or other legit businesses. It was also common for them to be hidden behind an unmarked door, or secret entrance, needing a special handshake or knock to get in.

Speakeasies were made to be able to drink alcohol when the 18th amendment made it illegal. They were able to enjoy alcohol in secret without being seen by law enforcement.

Alcohol was prohibited in the United States from 1920-1933 through the 18th Amendment due to concerns about the negative social consequences of alcohol consumption, including domestic violence, crime, and corruption, and the desire to create a healthier, more productive society.
