The Drys were those who supported the prohibition of alcohol. The Wets were all those that went against it and they believed alcohol should be legal and able to be accessible. This division brought a lot of problems to our nation. Since the sell of alcohol was illegal people would access it and sell it illegally these were known as gangsters. Crime was a big one there was a lot of criminals now and since cars were invented they thought it would be nice to go full speed and out run the police they took it as a game. There was a lot of corrupt business involving gang members and business leaders some police even turned corrupt. They didn't know what to do since they noticed it wasn't just a problem but one they personally couldn't handle they made the accessibility of alcohol legal again.
