The Eighteenth Amendment (Amendment XVIII) of the United States Constitution effectively established the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States by declaring the production, transport, and sale of alcohol (though not the consumption or private possession) illegal. The Amendment was the first to set a time delay before it would take effect following ratification, and the first to set a time limit for its ratification by the states. Its ratification was certified on January 16, 1919, with the amendment taking effect on January 16, 1920.The amendment was repealed in 1933 by ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment, the only instance in United States history that a constitutional amendment was repealed in its entirety.
Prohibition, enacted through the 18th Amendment in 1920, aimed to eliminate alcohol consumption but instead led to widespread lawlessness, the rise of organized crime, and the establishment of illegal speakeasies. The government's inability to enforce the ban effectively undermined respect for the law and diverted resources from more pressing issues. Additionally, Prohibition resulted in significant economic losses, including tax revenue from the alcohol industry and job losses in sectors related to brewing and distribution. Ultimately, it was repealed in 1933, highlighting its failure and the negative consequences it had on American society.

The 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919, was unique because it established the prohibition of alcohol, making it the first amendment to explicitly restrict personal behavior rather than expand rights or freedoms. Unlike other amendments, it required the implementation of a comprehensive regulatory framework through the Volstead Act, leading to widespread social and legal challenges.
