I think Prohibition was also a huge issue. Hoover favored it. FDR was against. Take away a man's job isn't as bad as taking away his beer.

"On this day in 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt, having only weeks earlier been inaugurated in the throes of the Great Depression as the nation’s 32nd president, signed into law a measure amending the Volstead Act, which had ushered in more than a decade of Prohibition in the United States."
