The text reads:
Section 1.
The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

Section 2.
The 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.

Section 3.
This 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.

But for a commentary on the amendment, which by the way
was 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:

The 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution repealed the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which had mandated nationwide Prohibition.

The Twenty-first Amendment was 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.

The 18th amendment stopped alcohol and the 21st gave it back but only for the seperate states to control it. So the states are controlling it instead of the federal government.
