This act made it illegal to sell or consume alcohol.
It actually made it illegal to transport, manufacture, and sell Alcoholic Beverages. To actually consume alcohol was perfectly legal.
The Act that enforced the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the transport, manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages was the National Prohibition Act of October 28, 1919, chapter 85, 41Stautes 305. It was codified at Title 27 Chapters 1 to 4. of the United States Code.
Although the 18th Amendment established the general ban on alcoholic beverages, the National Prohibition Act enforced it. This Act provided the details of the prohibition.
Chapter 1 contained General Provisions.
Chapter 2 restated the ban on alcohol in greater detail than in the 18th Amendment. It prohibited manufacturing, selling, bartering, transporting, importing, exporting, delivering, furnishing or otherwise possessing any intoxicating liquor.
Chapter 3 provided a more detailed definition of "intoxicating liquors" and for exemptions relating to industrial alcohol.
Chapter 4 provided the specific penalties for violation of the terms of this Act.
The 18th Amendment is more like what is called an enabling act. It provided the Constitutional basis for the government's authority to pass laws banning alcohol. The Amendment left it to Congress to provide all the details. If you read the 18th Amendment you will see that there is no definition of alcoholic beverages nor any penalties for violating it. The National Prohibition Act took care of those details.
The National Prohibition Act is more commonly known as the Volstead Act.
