| 释义 | prohibition (once / 690 pages) n Prohibition is the act of forbidding or outlawing something, like when my mom placed a prohibition on watching TV during dinner (causing everyone to skip dinner). Prohibition can also refer to one of the most famous acts of prohibition in United States history: the outlawing of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933.

As a result, the Prohibition Era is a perfect illustration of a major challenge associated with most acts of prohibition: enforcement.
