The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages in the United States and its possessions. Contrary to common belief, it did not prohibit the purchase or consumption of alcohol.
The Amendment was proposed by Congress on December 18, 1917, when it passed the Senate after it had passed the House the day earlier. The Amendment was ratified on January 16, 1919, went into effect one year later on January 16, 1920, and was repealed by the 21st Amendment on December 5, 1933. In the over 230 years of the U.S. Constitution, the 18th is the only Amendment ever to have been repealed.
