The Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution prohibited the manufacture, sale or transportation of all intoxicating liquors within, into or out of the United States - known as Prohibition. It took effect in January 1920. By 1933, people realized this was not as good idea as it had seemed, and the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment.
