    How to use "Prohibition" in context?

    Since 1920, the United States has had a ban on alcohol. The ban was put into place by the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which stated, "No person holding any office or position of profit or trust under the United States shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state." This amendment was passed due to the corruption that came with the sale of liquor. It has been argued that this amendment was a way to improve corruption-free government, and that it did just that.
