Taken from: http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Constitution.HTML and http://www.superkids.com/aweb/pages/features/netporn/amndmnts.htm As far as I know government uses most if not all amendments every day including the ammendent that specifies how congress should enact their every day responsibilities. The first 10 are the bill of rights, stating what every American citizen has a right to. The other amendments state things such as civil rights, the abolishment of slavery, taxation, the organization of the 3 branches of govt., and any number of policies that every citizen uses every day mostly without their knowledge. Literally, when you walk out the front door every day and go to work you, as a person, are utilizing nearly 60% of the amendments ever created. Heres just a few examples. When you walk out of your house and go to work. You basically use 12 of the first 13 amendments. When you go get money from a bank and buy something such as liquor, you use amendment 16 and 21. The list could surely go on and on. Congress themselves uses nearly all of the amendments every day to site and debate bills that have come before congress. The very fact that there is a congress at all is use of amendment 20. So it stands to answer your question that Congress uses several ammendements and the correct question should be What amendment doesn't the government use on a daily basis? Hope that helps.

Liquor is not illegal.
The Eighteenth and Twenty First Amendments concern the prohibition of alcohol consumption. The 18th Amendment banned "the manufacture, sale, or transportation" of liquor within the United States. The 21st Amendment repealed the aforementioned Amendment.
Drunk in Public, specifically: Who is found in any public place under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, controlled substance, toluene, or any combination of any intoxicating liquor, drug, controlled substance, or toluene, in a condition that he or she is unable to exercise care for his or her own safety or the safety of others, or by reason of his or her being under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, controlled substance, toluene, or any combination of any intoxicating liquor, drug, or toluene, interferes with or obstructs or prevents the free use of any street, sidewalk, or other public way.
The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment. The 18th Amendment had prohibited the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors in the United States as well as prohibiting the importation and exportation of intoxicating liquor. It ended the era of "Prohibition".
Illicit means the same thing as illegal. Illicit alcohol is alcohol on which taxes have not been paid or that was manufactured illegally.
