Prohibition in the United States officially ended on December 5, 1933, when the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. This amendment repealed the 18th Amendment, which had established the nationwide ban on alcohol. The end of Prohibition allowed for the legal production and sale of alcoholic beverages once again.
The end of prohibition marked the end of the era of criminals smuggling in alcohol. People no longer needed to sneak around to get their alcohol.

Prohibition ended in 1933 primarily due to the economic pressures of the Great Depression, which heightened the need for government revenue through taxes on alcohol sales. The rise of organized crime associated with illegal alcohol also contributed to growing public disillusionment with Prohibition. Additionally, the 21st Amendment, which repealed Prohibition, reflected changing social attitudes toward alcohol consumption and the desire for regulation over outright bans. These factors combined led to the formal end of Prohibition in December 1933.
One of the paradoxes can be the alcohol issue where, the country at the beginning of the 1920s was supporting prohibition of alcohol sales and by the end of the 1920s the people showed much hypocrisy and switched their views on prohibition which turned out as a huge failure. The part of paradox would come from the hypocrisy of people and the quick change of mindset based on prohibition.

During Prohibition in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, millions of people continued to consume alcohol despite its illegal status. Estimates suggest that about 60% of American adults drank alcohol during this period. Illegal production and distribution of alcohol flourished, with speakeasies and bootlegging becoming widespread. This widespread disregard for the law ultimately contributed to the end of Prohibition in 1933.
