Opposed to the production, sale, or consumption of alcoholic beverages; relating to the prohibition of alcohol.
From anti- (against) plus liquor, from Latin 'liquor' (liquid). The term gained prominence during the Temperance Movement and Prohibition era (1920-1933 in the US) when organized opposition to alcohol became a major political force.
The antiliquor movement was so powerful that it rewrote the US Constitution through the 18th Amendment—making it the only amendment later repealed, showing how moral crusades can temporarily reshape law before cultural attitudes swing back.
