Definition : In 1919 the 18th amendment banished the production, the sale the purchase and the drink of alcohol in the united states.

History : It was instituted because of many factors. In the 19th century Americans consumed 26 L of pure alcohol a year ( in other words : three times more than nowadays ). So alcohol is seen as the responsible of the society problems ( violence, debt ). Many associations were created to fight against the alcohol.
