They don't cancel each other but the 1st and 14th sometimes conflict- for example the government may step into a Church matter if it's an equal protection issue like gay rights, although they are not supposed to.

By 1933, the 21st Amendment had repealed it.

Prohibition, enacted by the Eighteenth Amendment in 1920, ultimately failed due to widespread resistance and a culture of defiance against the ban on alcohol. Many Americans continued to consume alcohol in secret, leading to the rise of illegal speakeasies and organized crime syndicates that profited from the black market. Additionally, the law was difficult to enforce, and public opinion shifted as the negative social consequences became apparent, ultimately culminating in its repeal with the Twenty-first Amendment in 1933.
