The 18th amendment to the US Constitution prohibited the sale, transportation, manufacture, and importation of Alcoholic Beverages in the United States and its territories. It was ratified January 16, 1919 and implemented the same date in 1920.
The 21st amendment repealed the 18th, and it was ratified December 5, 1933 to take effect on that date.
