Of course, the location of most of these foreign embassies (Washington D.C.) means that the politicians responsible for prohibition were not themselves without access to alcohol. Some things don't seem to change.

This same sort of thing would happen if they tried to prohibit guns. Only the politicians and the wealthy would have them.
