Wasn't the prohibition a result of the temperance movement? Unless there was some sort of conspiracy (which I doubt), historically it was pretty much a large group of people that wanted alcohol banned because it caused too much damage (drunk people make all kinds of bad decisions, especially when wives are involved). This is different, I think. It's still a prohibition, but noone asked for it to be prohibited.
