Prohibition refers to the period in the United States from 1920 to 1933 when the production, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages were banned under the 18th Amendment. The intention was to reduce alcohol consumption, curb crime, and improve public morals, but it led to the opposite outcome. Organized crime surged as bootleggers, speakeasies, and underground operations flourished, providing alcohol in secret to the public. The era also sparked significant cultural changes, with jazz music and the flapper lifestyle becoming symbols of defiance and rebellion.
Prohibition is making a comeback in popular culture, not as a political movement, but as a nostalgic and fashionable theme. The 1920s are often celebrated in contemporary times for their distinctive style, social revolution, and the glamorous aspects of speakeasies and hidden bars. This resurgence is reflected in themed items, such as retro cocktail glasses, vintage-inspired barware, and flapper-style clothing, which tap into the allure of the "Roaring Twenties."
