the volstead act governed the sale of alcohol in states omitted from the eighteenth amendmen

Explanation:

The Eighteenth Amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating liquors. The Volstead Act was passed to define what constituted intoxicating liquors and to provide a mechanism for enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment. It did not ban alcohol in additional states (the amendment applied nationwide), it did not prohibit drinking (only manufacturing, selling, transporting), and it was not about states omitted from the amendment (the amendment was a national - level prohibition).

Answer:

The Volstead Act provided for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment.
