How many years did Prohibition last in the US?
Prohibition in the United States lasted for approximately 13 years. It was implemented with the passage of the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1919, which prohibited the production, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. The enforcement of Prohibition began in 1920 and lasted until 1933 when the 21st Amendment was ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment and effectively ending Prohibition. The period of Prohibition had significant social, cultural, and economic impacts on the country, but ultimately the widespread noncompliance and negative consequences led to its repeal.
