The 18th Amendment took effect on January 16, 1920. It prohibited “the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors”. Interestingly enough, the Amendment did not prohibit the consumption, private possession, or production for one’s own consumption. Prohibition lasted for 13 years. Eventually being repealed in 1988 by ratification of the 21st Amendment. (Note: This is the only time in American history that a constitutional amendment was repealed in its entirety.) Okay enough history…
