    Prohibition of alcohol in the United States began in 1920 with the 18th Amendment to the Constitution and lasted until 1933. Smuggling and illegal production of alcohol flourished during this time, with organized crime groups like Al Capone's controlling much of the black market trade. Public support for prohibition waned as it failed to achieve its goals, and it was finally repealed in 1933 with the ratification of the 21st Amendment.
