1. prohibitionist

   Prohibitionism is a legal philosophy and political theory often used in lobbying which holds that citizens will abstain from actions if the actions are typed as unlawful (i.e. prohibited) and the prohibitions are enforced by law enforcement. This philosophy has been the basis for many acts of statutory law throughout history, most notably when a large group of a given population disapproves of and/or feels threatened by an activity in which a smaller group of that population engages, and seeks to render that activity legally prohibited.

1. prohibitionist

   A prohibitionist is a person who supports or advocates for the prohibition or banning of a certain activity, substance or policy, often related to alcohol, drugs, or other substances considered harmful. This term originated during the historical period known as Prohibition in the United States, where alcohol was banned nationally from 1920 to 1933, where those who supported this law were called prohibitionists. However, it can now apply to anyone who supports banning various substances or activities.

Examples of prohibitionist in a Sentence

1. Ricardo Monreal:

2. Jonathan Gibralter:

   One of the things that has been my struggle for the last 15 or more years in this area is that there just aren't enough college presidents out there who are willing to stand up and take a stand on this issue, to be role models, to set a level of expectation for their students, to stand up to their alumni, to just do the right thing to save lives, and I struggle to know why. I've struggled with that for a long time, believe me, I'm not against alcohol. I'm not a prohibitionist. I just have seen too many instances where alcohol consumption amongst young people has caused terrible tragedy.
