Which constitutional amendment went into effect on January 16, 1919—just weeks after New Year’s Day—and fundamentally altered alcohol regulation in the U.S.?

WRONG! The 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition in 1933; it did not create it.

CORRECT! The 18th Amendment, ratified on January 16, 1919, established Prohibition by banning the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating liquors in the United States. It fundamentally reshaped alcohol regulation nationwide until it was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.

WRONG! Ratified in 1913, the 16th Amendment authorized the federal income tax and has no connection to alcohol regulation.

WRONG! Ratified in 1920, the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote, not regulate alcohol.
