I guess that we can get picky about what the 18th amendment did or did not do. Prohibition, as I understand it, really prohibited very little. It was the manufacture and sale of ETHEL alcohol that it was supposed to prohibit (there are two other types of alcohol). But personal consumption, although the target, was not prohibited (except in some states and territories). In Alaska, for example, the "Bone Dry" law patterned after Idaho's prohibition law actually prohibited personal possession and consumption, but even there, there were loopholes - for example for medical (for the "diagnosis" for drought, for example for whites) and religious purposes, experimental and mechanical applications also were legal. As I understand it, it did exactly what the politicians wanted it to do - give the appearance of prohibition without actually doing it.
