National Prohibition of alcohol in the United States began on the sixteenth (16th) of January, 1920, and ended on the fifth (5th) of December, 1933. However, the sale of beer had been legalized earlier that year.

To be more specific, Repeal of National Prohibition occurred at 4:31 p.m. on December 5, 1933. It ended 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, 17 hours and 32.5 minutes of Prohibition.

However, after Repeal, about 39% of the U.S. population continued living under state-wide prohibition. Even today, millions of people live in "dry" counties.
