Learn about the history of Prohibition with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.
Imagine not being able to have a beer at the baseball. Or not being allowed to have a wine at the theatre. Imagine it was illegal to offer your guests a drink at your next dinner party. This is what life would be like under prohibition. Prohibition is a law that forbids the manufacturing, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages.
Countries all over the world have introduced prohibition at different times in their history and today many countries continue to ban the sale of alcohol. Muslim countries are generally strict about the consumption of alcohol by their citizens and often have some form of prohibition. This is due to references of the danger of alcohol in the Qur’an, which is Islam’s holy book. Scandinavia also has a rich history of prohibition. Most of the Scandinavian countries, with the exception of Denmark, had prohibition during the early 1920s, with a few of them continuing the ban on alcohol well into the following decades. Australia continues to have a form of prohibition in certain remote indigenous communities, but you can drink freely in most of the country.
