Prohibition Statistics

Even with Prohibition already ratified and enforced through the Volstead era, the federal government collected $11.4 million in alcohol tax revenue while spending millions to police it, and by 1930 Treasury reported $7.0 million in prohibition enforcement administration costs. Follow how licensing controls, mass seizures and prosecutions, and shifting consumption created real changes in violence, hospital admissions, and mortality as the ban reshaped everyday life.

Prohibition didn’t just ban alcohol it reshaped law enforcement, public health, and even everyday attitudes, leaving measurable traces that still show up in government records. For example, 1930 alone saw $7.0 million in federal expenses for Prohibition administration, alongside thousands of arrests and convictions across the country. What’s striking is how quickly “legal” drinking routes collapsed and illicit supply surged, creating a cascade that historians can reconstruct with surprisingly detailed quantities.
