The Prohibition era officially began with the passage of the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1919, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors in the United States. This amendment was followed by the Volstead Act, which defined what constituted an "intoxicating liquor" and provided for the enforcement of Prohibition.

Prohibition was initially popular, and many Americans believed that it would lead to a decrease in crime and improve public health. However, the reality was quite different. Prohibition created a thriving black market for alcohol, which led to the rise of organized crime and the smuggling of alcohol from other countries.

Prohibition also led to an increase in alcohol-related crime, as well as the creation of speakeasies and illegal drinking establishments. Additionally, many Americans continued to drink during Prohibition, leading to the creation of dangerous and sometimes deadly homemade alcohol known as "bathtub gin."

Prohibition ultimately proved to be unenforceable, and public support for the policy waned in the 1930s. The 21st Amendment to the US Constitution, which repealed Prohibition, was ratified in 1933, effectively ending the era of Prohibition in the United States.
