I'm not too into history but Prohibition is one of the few things that makes me want to go out and read a 200 page book on it (are there any good ones?). It's amazing that a minority voice convinced 2/3rds of the legislature to pass an amendment that is obviously contrary to the spirit and intention of the Constitution (didn't they read the part about "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"??). Even if the liberty argument didn't sway them, the economic one should have (prohibition killed off lots of businesses in the US, and even overseas such as Scotland where their scotch export trade cratered).
