Ratified on Dec. 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment ended Prohibition in the United States. It repealed the 18th Amendment, which had banned the manufacture, distribution and sale of Alcoholic Beverages in the country since 1919.
If it were not for the twenty-First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, National Prohibition would still be in effect. That means that it would be illegal for anyone to produce, distribute or sell beverage alcohol. We would still have the many problems created by prohibition alcohol, including often toxic alcohol that causes blindness, paralysis and even death; the loss of revenue; the increased criminal justice costs; organized crime; widespread political and law enforcement corruption; and many more problems.
