Prohibition refers to a time in American history. In the 1930's, the US government banned the sale and consumption of alcohol, except for religious purposes.

(Yes, it's insane. It caused mafias to gain power by illegally selling alcohol.)

A: forbidden/not allowed

A: Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages that remained in place from 1920 to 1933. Paddy wagon is the nickname for a police car used during that time period to transport criminals to jail/prison. There is a line in the Disney movie "Up" that uses this term. "Longer than 22 prohibition paddy wagons". lol

A: If you mean prohibitions restricted him, I’d say:

He was held hostage by prohibitions.

A: ‘Why did you do that it’s prohibited’ or ‘why did you do that it’s not aloud’ would be better ways of saying that, although you can just leave it like that it still makes sense, it’s just a bit more formal.

A: It sounds good, however, I would rather use Banning instead of prohibition

A: Thanks!!
