Answer 1

A. Beer was seen as a German beverage, associated with World War I. During World War I, German Americans were considered to be enemies of the state, and beer was associated with German culture. As a result, the temperance movement gained momentum, and the idea of Prohibition was introduced as a way to eliminate the consumption of German beer and reduce the power of German brewers.
