  7. ABC Board Originated….1937 • In 1920, with the passage of the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution, the era of prohibition began. • It prohibited the manufacture, sale, transportation, and possession of alcoholic beverages.

  8. 1933 17 Monopoly States 21st Amendment repealed prohibition With the repeal of the 18th Amendment, each state decided to what extent and level alcohol would be controlled. Alabama became one of 17 states that decided that full control by the state was best.

The ABC Board operates with a specific price structure determined by the Alabama Legislature and is governed by Title 28, Code of Alabama,1975 .
