Drinking became extreme, crime mushroomed, corruption of public officials became rampant, people died from drinking tainted alcohol, people last respect for law, and many other problems were created or exacerbated.

Why was amendment 18 passed?

The 18th Amendment enacted Prohibition. It proved to be highly unpopular, and was largely ignored by the population who continued to drink at speakeasies. The crime rate skyrocketed under Prohibition, as gangsters like Al Capone made fortunes bootlegging alcohol. The Government decided to cancel the 18th Amendment as it was ineffective and unpopular. The 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition.

What happened after prohibition was enforced?

The demand for alcohol was met by black marketeers and the prohibition of alcohol empowered criminals, further empowered a federal government and gave rise to lawlessness. As an Amendment listed in the Bill of Rights the prohibition of alcohol is a strange right to be enumerated. I would not argue that we don't have the right to not drink alcohol. I would argue that people do have the right to drink alcohol if they so choose. Prohibition of products or resources that have clear demand in a market place never work and the current laws in the United States prohibiting certain drugs gives evidence to the failures of prohibition. Unless of course, the intent behind prohibition is to empower the petty tyrants who wish to rule. Then prohibition can be a very effective tool in grabbing power.
