No, the drinking was across the board, every social class.

Obviously.

But the high society folks on Long Island and in Hollywood didn’t need to worry about Elliot Ness types crashing their parties.

Maybe across the board in terms of income levels or classes, but drinking was more common in the cities than in the countryside.

Some bootlegging rural counties were an exception and some people could get their hands on liquor wherever they were, but in much of small town America, booze was hard to get and the 20s weren't Roaring that much.
