For you non-US types, the 21st amendment to the constitution was ratified to repeal the 18th amendment which had outlawed the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the US.

Just think about it, if the 18th hadn't passed those Kennedys couldn't have amassed their family fortune running Rum.
