There was and is a major cultural demand for alcohol that just isn't there for supplements.
This is apparently not the case, since a large number of people continue to purchase and consume supplements, and if the article is to be believed, this has resulted in providing the producers of those supplements with sufficient resources to successfully prevent their market from being suppressed by political activity, a feat which even the alcohol industry was unable to accomplish in 1919.
