The period of time when alcohol was outlawed?

The period when alcohol was outlawed in the United States is known as Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. This era began with the ratification of the 18th Amendment and was enforced by the Volstead Act, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating liquors. Prohibition aimed to reduce crime and corruption but instead led to the rise of illegal speakeasies and organized crime. Ultimately, it was repealed by the 21st Amendment due to its unanticipated social and economic consequences.
