The 18th Amendment to the US Constitution began the era of Prohibition when its passage by 3/4 of all the states was certified in 1919.
It specifically affected the people who manufactured, sold, or transported alcohoholic beverages in the United States, by prohibiting those activities. It also prohibited the importation into, or the exportation out of the USA for alcoholic beverages.
It indirectly affected the people who wanted access to those Alcoholic Beverages. It also indirectly affected many people who experienced the rise of organized crime to provide those beverages illegally during the period of Prohibition.
The prohibitions of the 18th Amendment were eliminated with the passage of the 21st Amendment in 1933, which completely repealed the 18th.
The Eighteenth Ammendment made it to where no citizen could purchase or own any kind of liquor. This creates the many problems in nearly every part of the US. And also created the term, "bootlegging" that meant the smuggling of alcohol.
This was later repelled by the twenty First Amendment.

who wanted the 18th amendment?
The Volstead Act is a federal law, not an amendment. It was passed in order to put into effect specific enforcement and punishment provisions in order to put the 18th Amendment, prohibiting the use and importation of alcohol, into effect. The 18th Amendment itself had no provisions for the kinds of punishment that would be meted out for violation of it; therefore it was fairly useless as a deterrent. The Volstead Act put the teeth into te 18th Amensment.
