Prohibition in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of Alcoholic Beverages. The 18th Amendment, along with the Volstead Act, enforced this ban, aiming to reduce crime and corruption, improve health, and enhance social order. However, it led to the rise of illegal speakeasies, organized crime, and widespread disregard for the law. Prohibition was ultimately repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933 due to its negative social and economic impacts.
