Almost 14 years! Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation and sale of alcoholic that remained in place from 1920 to 1933. Prohibition was mandated state after state, then finally nationwide under the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920. Prohibition ended with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment, which repealed the Eighteenth Amendment, on December 5, 1933.
