The temperance movement was in full force by non Mormon Christians in the country by then, and the LDS Church actually complied not as a leader in prohibition, but was reactionary to the other denominations calling them out.
It was a prophet in the 1900s or so that led the hard stance about coffee, tea and tobacco and Heber j. Grant made it a temple requirement in 1921. Alcohol was illegal at the time. And the Church has never looked back.
