Prohibition came to being via the WCTU. Alcoholism might be just a disease of society, but it aroused the ire of the gentler folks a century ago.
Like present day obamacare, it was politically aimed at solving a perceived problem, was log-rolled into a national llaw, and allowed to languish even with grave unintended consequences (much crime, many deaths and high law enforcement costs).
