You are probably referring to the 21st Amendment, which ended Prohibition. The 18th amendment to the Constitution (1919) made it illegal to manufacture, sell or distribute Alcoholic Beverages. It was supposed to reduce Alcoholism and lower crime rates (many crimes were related to drunkenness), but it turned out to be a very unpopular law, as well as a law that was nearly impossible to enforce. By 1933, the 21st Amendment had repealed it.

To date, the Twenty-first is the only amendment ratified by conventions held in the several states, rather than being ratified by the state legislatures. Edward Schoeneck (the Lt. Governor of New York 1915-1918 and Mayor of Syracuse, NY 1913-1915) also played an important role in the ratification of the 21st amendment.
How are new amendments ratified?
New amendments are ratified by the people as they are represented by their states. Three fourths of the states must ratify an amendment in order for it to take effect. No group or individual has any veto power over the ratification of an amendment by the states. Amendments can be initiated by the government, as have all the amendments ratified so far. Less known is the fact that the states themselves, according to the Constitution, can initiate amendments independent of government. In this case, the government's only involvement is to instruct the states whether they can ratify amendments through state legislatures, or by state conventions. There is no appeal when the states ratify an amendment. The only authority that can enact an amendment or repeal one is The People.
