How was prohibition of alcohol passed seemingly very easily in the US? And why was it seemingly easily repealed only several years later?

by Somehungryguy

I just find it bizarre, compared to the US political situation in the past few decades, that a constitutional amendment had such overwhelming support, but was then readily repealed in less than two decades. How and why was the US Congress and the several states so eager to establish prohibition, and why was there a relatively sudden reversal?
