The Prohibition Era began in 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, prohibiting the manufacture and consumption of alcohol. It ended in 1933, then the Twenty-first Amendment, repealing the Eighteenth, was ratified. Other countries, including Saudi Arabia, ban alcohol, but their rules are independent of US Prohibition.
