Liquor Laws




The most famous of liquor laws is the Eighteenth Amendment To The United States Constitution enacted in 1920 , which prohibited the sale and consumption of all alcoholic beverages, but, due to the increased amount of crime surrounding the illegal distribution of alcohol through unlicensed bars called " Speakeasies ," the amendment was later repealed with the Twenty-first Amendment . This era in United States History is often called the Prohibition .
