The 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on January 16, 1919, prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and distribution of "intoxicating liquors," or any form of potable alcohol. The period of time that followed, during which alcohol was illegal and not readily accessible, is known as Prohibition. The banning of liquor was quite unpopular with the general public, and the illegal manufacture, sale, and distribution of alcohol became a profitable financial venture for those willing to take the risk. Organized crime grew as a result of the lucrative business opportunities present during this ban, and literary works and movies representing this unusual time period remain popular today.The 21st Amendment was ratified on December 5, 1933 with the specific purpose of repealing the 18th Amendment, the only US Constitutional Amendment to have ever been repealed.
