all licenses or consumption of any kind are banned

This is not quite an accurate picture of prohibition in the US - there were religious exemptions, for instance, and I expect producers had to be licensed. I know there was a cap on the acreage of vineyards put towards sacramental wine (which seems a plausible feature of a regulatory apparatus that might involve licensing).
