The 18th amendment was repealed because too many Americans were against it. The 18th amendment made all alcoholic drinks illegal including wine, vodka, and beer.
The only Amendment that has been repealed is the 18th. In 1919, the 18th Amendment banned the manufacture, sale, and transfer of liquor. In 1933, the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th.
The 18th Amendment failed to eliminate alcohol consumption because after WW1, many Americans were tired of making sacrifices and wanted to just enjoy life. People were determined to get their liquor one way or another. Many people grew bolder in getting around the law, and drinkers went underground to hidden saloons and nightclubs known as speakeasies to avoid detection. Even crooked cops joined and protected these clubs and eventually the 18th Amendment was repealed by the Twenty-first Amendment. Many believed the banning of alcohol would stop crime, wife and child abuse, accidents on the job, and other serious problems; but in reality it made these problems worse than they were, and created more as well.

You are probably referring to the 21st Amendment, which ended Prohibition. The 18th amendment to the Constitution (1919) made it illegal to manufacture, sell or distribute alcoholic beverages. It was supposed to reduce alcoholism and lower crime rates (many crimes were related to drunkenness), but it turned out to be a very unpopular law, as well as a law that was nearly impossible to enforce. By 1933, the 21st Amendment had repealed it.
I don't know the answer
Amendment 21 counteracted against amendment 18. Amendment 18 was to stop alcohol trade and instead of repealing or canceling amendment 18 they just passed amendment 21 which allowed there to be alcohol trade. Amendment 21 was adopted in 1933 took away prohibition
The 18th amendment *Edit* The Eighteenth Amendment is prohibition and has nothing to do with suffrage. This answer is wrong.
It outlawed the production and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The 21st Amendment was ratified Dec. 5, 1933. It replaced the 18th Amendment, which was passed 14 years earler. Without the 21st Amendment, alchol would be outlawed.
Presidents play no legal role in the amendment process. Woodrow Wilson was the President when the 18th amendment (aka Prohibition) was ratified and took effect. It was a campaign issue in 1920 and the winner, Harding, came out for it, even though he served liquor in the White House.
