Question: When did Prohibition begin in Arizona?

Answer: January 1, 1915. Arizona was the 13th state to vote by a narrow margin to prohibit the sale, manufacture, and consumption of alcohol, five years before the national ban was enacted. Breweries, wineries, and distilleries had to close. They, as well as bars, restaurants, and stores, had to jettison whatever stock they had left by January 1, 1915.
