What were some advantages of Prohibition by the 18th Amendment?

I'm in APUSH and every so often we have a debate and were given sides of an issue. I happened to be on the side of Pro-Prohiibtion and honestly i'm having trouble finding facts that support that Prohibiton was a good thing. I can find plenty of things why it didn't work but i'm supposed to argue that it was good for the country. Can you help me please? Anything that would support Prohibition for the country would be so much help and any links too would just be awesome.

    You got the short end of the stick on this one! Prohibition was not good for the country. It didn't reduce alcohol consumption much, it just made criminals out of the people who produced, transported, sold and drank alcohol.
