When the United States tried Prohibition in the 1920's, it wasn't a complete success. However, they never tried real Prohibition. It wasn't illegal to be intoxicated, only illegal to manufacture, transport, and sell alcohol.
If the United States were to adopt a zero tolerance policy in regards to tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, firearms, and illegal use of even prescription drugs, it would be a different matter altogether. This would mean a felony conviction and mandatory prison sentence for manufacturing, transporting, selling, possessing, or using any amount of tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, or not strictly following government procedures with prescription drugs. Additionally, aiding and abetting anyone violating the prohibition law by doing things like letting a drunk sleep it off on your couch and not contacting law enforcement would land you in prison.
You have to control the issue entirely or everything spreads and chaos ensues.
