From 1920 to 1933, the government declared that it was illegal to produce, import, transport or even sell beer and other types of liquor. But men weren’t willing to take this prohibition of alcohol lying down. So, they took to the streets with huge signs that read “We Want Beer” and started protesting. But people were so desperate for some alcohol that they resorted to buying some at the black market at a higher cost than what was priced on the shelves before the prohibition went into effect.
