Of course, there are many other reasons, but just to state one:

The Stock Market crash of 1929 caused the beginning of the Great Depression, which meant people were losing jobs and were at desperate measures to gain money.

Prohibition meant one less space for jobs, since making alcohol and selling alcohol (such as wine, etc.) was a job.

Great Depression called for the need of jobs, which is one of the many contributing reasons to why the 18th amendment was repealed.

It was also the only amendment to be repealed (so far).

What amendment reversed the 18th amendment of prohibition?

Congress formally proposed the repeal of Prohibition on February 20, 1933. To date, the Twenty-first is the only amendment ratified by conventions held in the several states, rather than being ratified by the state legislatures. Edward Schoeneck (the Lt. Governor of New York 1915-1918 and Mayor of Syracuse, NY 1913-1915) also played an important role in the ratification of the 21st amendment.
