to ALL of the states. Otherwise, alcohol probably would have been regulated on a state by state basis.
I read something interesting about prohibition recently. Apparently the suffragettes were active in the movement to ban alcohol, because alcohol use was so high in that time period (quite a bit higher than now) and alcoholism was so devastating to so many families -- and the mothers had few options for supporting their families on their own. No wonder they pushed for the prohibition.
