Because I grew up in Moonshine country where people have actual storied histories barely a generation removed explaining how they got away with ignoring it or dodging it, and in turn spending more time in the presence of criminals to assist in those endeavors.

Nascar and stock racing alone got its start by an entire criminal industry forming in response to it, and that's just a single operation in one area of the country.

The people who were causing problems due to alcohol didn't and weren't going to stop just because of a law, all it accomplished was punishing innocent folks from having freedom. No different than "common sense" gun laws, which I'm sure you'll whine "bubububut that's different!"
