The Eighteenth Amendment (Amendment XVIII) of the United States Constitution effectively established the prohibition of Alcoholic Beverages in the United States by declaring the production, transport, and sale of alcohol (though not the consumption or private possession) illegal. The Amendment was the first to set a time delay before it would take effect following ratification, and the first to set a time limit for its ratification by the states. Its ratification was certified on January 16, 1919, with the amendment taking effect on January 16, 1920.The amendment was repealed in 1933 by ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment, the only instance in United States history that a constitutional amendment was repealed in its entirety.
