The 18th amendment to the US Constitution was called prohibition, this is because the selling, drinking, and distributing Alcoholic Beverages was outlawed and no one was allowed to drink alcoholic beverages. However, the US government realized that they could not enforce a law of this magnitude and abolished it with the 21st amendment which stated that alcoholic beverages were allowed to be sold, drunk, and distributed throughout the US.
