The 18th Amendment (dealing with prohibition) was repealed by the 21st Amendment because of its lack of usefulness. People were still drinking, but the government couldn't benefit from this at all (taxes, anyone?) and so they eventually decided that it was better to just keep drinking alcohol legal but put more restrictions on it.
