The End of Prohibition
Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages which was upheld by the 18th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The prohibition began on January 17, 1920, which led to many underground establishments selling alcohol in secret the way controlled substances are sold today. But when the ban was lifted on December 5, 1933, people started drinking like it was the end of the world. Then they re-discovered the woes of a hangover the morning after.
