The music of the time was early jazz music. Jazz became popular in the speakeasies where alcohol was illegally served. Duke Ellington got his start working in joints that served illegal alcohol, the most famous being the Cotton Club in NYC. \nOnce prohibition was repealed, jazz became even more popular as it didn't require breaking the law to listen to it.

Neither.\n\nThe genius of the founding fathers of the United States was not that they knew everything, but that they understood that they could not know everything. With that humble attitude, they included in the Constitution a feature which allows future generations to update the Constitution to fit the changing times.\n\nLook at all the amendments which have been added to the Constitution. Every amendment is a slight change to the Constitution to keep it updated with the times. \n\nThe 18th and 21st amendments are a perfect example. The 18th amendment was the prohibition of alcohol because people at that time thought that alcohol would destroy the country.\n\nWhen the people finally realized that the prohibition of alcohol gave rise to an even greater threat (gangsters like Al Capone), they decided to undo the 18th amendment with the 21st amendment. That's the Constitution changing with the times.

C. personal freedom. People, especially women felt very liberated after the end of the Edwardian era. Short skirts, short hair, they could smoke in public, drink, and vote. All these things were unheard of before the 1920's.

All states with the exception of three or four were 21 by the spring of 1985. In 1986 those last four caved under pressure from President Regan when he threatened to withhold Federal Highway money from them and raised the drinking age to 21.  Not sure which they were but one was Ohio.  I'm sure because I was there and was legally allowed to buy alcohol on my 19th birthday in 1985

Simple answer is Prohibition.  To explain a little more it is because hops, one of the main flavoring elements in beer is only used for one thing, and that is beer.  During Prohibition hops were not readily available since they were only used for making beer.  Beer was still brewed during Prohibition, it was just lightly hopped or not hopped at all.  Since that was all there was to drink was "wee" then that is what America drank.  After Prohibition was abolished people were used to drinking "wee" and that is what the factories produced.\n\nAnother reason for bad American beers is because they try to sell a cheap product so instead of using all malted barley they use adjuncts like corn and rice to cheapen the cost, and thus the lack of flavor.

The text reads:\nSection 1.\nThe eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.\n\nSection 2.\nThe transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use there in of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.\n\nSection 3.\nThis article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.\n\nBut for a commentary on the amendment, which by the way\nwas proposed by the United States Congress on February 20, 1933 and was fully ratified on December 5, 1933. This Amendment is thus far the only case, besides the initial ratification of the original Constitution, in which state conventions, specially selected for the purpose—not state legislatures—ratified the amendment, go to:\nhttp://www.law.cornell.edu/anncon/html/amdt21_user.html#amdt21_hd3

The Supreme Court would have performed the same duties as outlined in the constitution in the 1920's as it always had been performing.  Other than the fact that we had prohibition during the 1920's there is nothing in our history that would have changed their function.
