Proposed merge of Consequences of Prohibition into Prohibition in the United States

As written, Consequences of Prohibition reads like a less-neutral WP:CFORK of Prohibition_in_the_United_States#Effects_of_prohibition. However, a fair amount of the information in the Enforcement section of Consequences of Prohibition would be good to merge. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 05:42, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Mccapra (talk) 02:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Essentially there's only one half section (half of the last section) that is not already covered, and that could be readily merged to the parent article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:53, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support The Prohibition_in_the_United_States article is not too big and this article seems to fit in a natural way there. scope_creep^Talk 15:44, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
