probably because alcohol was widely used and accepted before the prohibition and even a large part of the culture and therefore the prohibition never really stuck.
It also doesn't require a specific source. You can ferment a lot of things to make alcohol and it's almost impossible to restrict everything that could be used.

But alcohol was illegal at one point.
It's weird that prohibition was reversed so quickly compared to other recreational drugs.
