Final answer:
The 27th amendment did not repeal prohibition; this is incorrect. It was the Twenty-First Amendment that repealed the Eighteenth Amendment in 1933, ending the prohibition of alcohol in the United States.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the 27th amendment repealed the prohibition of the sale and consumption of alcohol in 1933 is false. It was the Twenty-First Amendment that repealed prohibition, specifically reversing the restrictions set by the Eighteenth Amendment. The Eighteenth Amendment, ratified in 1919, made the manufacture, transport, and sale of intoxicating liquors illegal in the United States. This era of prohibition endured for fourteen years until the passage of the Twenty-First Amendment in 1933, which allowed for the legal sale and consumption of alcohol to resume.
