Section 1.

Section 2.
The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.

The 21^st Amendment repealed the 18^th amendment leaving the states in control of whether or not they would prohibit liquors becoming a dry state, city, county, etc. Deciding when buying/consuming alcohol would be legal in their jurisdiction. This amendment had to be ratified in 7 years to become valid. Franklin Roosevelt campaigned for the repeal during the depression to get more tax money from the sale of alcohol.
