Because they could and wanted to. Why do addicts take drugs they know are killing them? Its not really any different. Except back then, when the Govt told them they werent allowed something as trivial as alcohol, people were hell bent to defy that and have their alcohol, dangerous or not. I cant say as I blame them, the best way to get some people to do something is to tell them they cant.
Great article, very interesting read, I had no idea this was done. Theysure dont teach this in history class!
