Answer:
b. an increase in alcohol consumption
Explanation:
The Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (Amendment XVIII), together with the Volstead Act that defined the concept of "intoxicating liquor" in the United States, established the dry law in the country. It was ratified in January 1919. It was replaced by the Twenty-First Amendment in 1933, being the only instance in which a Amendment has been annulled. Amendment XVIII was also unique due to the fact that it established a delay in its entry into force after its ratification, in addition to setting a deadline for ratification by the States.
