Actually, there are two amendments about Alcoholic Beverages, or Prohibition. "Prohibition" was about prohibiting (banning, forbidding) the possession of alcohol. The First Amendment to address the issue was the 18th Amendment, in 1920. But while banning alcohol seemed like a great idea to its proponents, it was wildly unpopular and more difficult to enforce than anyone had expected, plus it led to an increase in criminal activity (smuggling liquor into the country, for example). By the early 1930s, that amendment was ready for repeal, and the 21st Amendment did in fact repeal it in 1933.
