what amendments started and ended prohibition?

something to chat about over happy hour…

The 18th Amendment (Ratified in 1919): This amendment started Prohibition by banning the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States.

The 21st Amendment (Ratified in 1933): This amendment ended Prohibition by repealing the 18th Amendment, making it legal again to produce, sell, and transport alcohol. The 21st Amendment remains the only constitutional amendment to repeal a previous one.
