Prohibition, the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution, outlawed the production, transportation and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Because of Prohibition, people who were able to produce and ship illegal supplies of Alcoholic Beverages (in a practice known as bootlegging) were able to make massive profits. Al Capone was a highly successful bootlegger, and much of his criminal empire's profits were based on bootlegging.
