The passage of the 18th Amendment led to the Prohibition era, which effectively banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol in the United States. This resulted in a significant decrease in alcohol consumption as it became difficult and risky to obtain. While illegal sales and distribution did continue, overall consumption did not return to pre-Prohibition levels until the amendment was repealed with the 21st Amendment in 1933.
