During prohibition (1916- 1923) people were making their own booze and it was much more dangerous because it had much greater alcohol content. After legalization alcohol percentage was regulated and enforced, the black market and home production disappeared. Regulation reduced some of the risk factors associated with the drug that many were using regardless of its legality.
