Gambling prohibition went fine. The laws were relaxed because there was money to be made, not because they were causing problems. The GP outlines why alcohol and gambling are distinguished. Alcohol is enjoyed by a majority of people, with a very small minority abusing it. Gambling is enjoyed by a much smaller portion of people, a larger portion of whom abuse it. This is especially true with respect to where money is made off of gambling. Since so much more money can be made off of single person from gambling than alcohol, the portion of the money made in gambling from abusers is much higher.
