The anti-prohibition legislation was enacted into law in conjunction with the Blaine Act and Cullen-Harrison Act. The 72nd United States Congress proposed the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution as endorsed by John Nance Garner and Charles Curtis on February 20, 1933.[1] The Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution or Volstead Act was repealed upon ratifying the twenty-first constitutional law abolishing Prohibition in the United States on December 5, 1933.[2][3]

On August 27, 1935, the Beer, Ale, Porter, and Similar Fermented Liquor codified law sections were officially repealed with the enactment of the Liquor Law Repeal and Enforcement Act of 1935.[4]
