Unintended Consequences and Rise of Modern Mafia
It might be worth mentioning that one of the unintended consequences of ASL's [successful] lobbying efforts was the rise of modern organized crime. Prohibition caused bootleggers and gangs to move from the fringes and unify giving rise to the modern crime organizations. See articles like How the Prohibition Era Spurred Organized Crime (History.com) Prohibition Profits Transformed the Mob (The Mob Museum), Mafia in the United States (History.com), etc.

It is a less than flattering feather for ASL's cap, but it is unfortunately true.
