The Volstead Act, officially known as the National Prohibition Act, was passed by Congress in 1919 to provide for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages in the United States. The act defined which beverages were considered intoxicating and outlined penalties for violations. It played a crucial role in the implementation of Prohibition, a social experiment that lasted from 1920 until 1933, leading to significant social and legal consequences. The act was eventually repealed with the 21st Amendment, restoring the legality of alcohol.

The 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919, established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport intoxicating liquors. The Volstead Act, enacted alongside the amendment, provided the legal framework for enforcing Prohibition by defining what constituted an intoxicating beverage and outlining penalties for violations.

Prohibition was eventually repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
