Did more people drink during prohibition in America?

Asked by JLeslie (65415points) January 22nd, 2013

I know most people agree prohibition didn’t work, but did it stop some people from drinking alcohol? There was ilegal alcohol being made and sold; it kind of drove alcohol production and consumption underground, but what I wonder is what percentage of the population was drinking at that time? And, how many were drinking immediately before and after prohibition? Or, how many even now compared to then?
