Because they have been fooled into believing it has "health benefits"; many otherwise intelligent people fall victim to all sorts of ridiculous claims about various food items all the time.
If I told a hundred people I had a "magic paste" that would clean their car, their car seats, improve the clarity of their windscreen, improve gas mileage if added to the gas, and prolong oil life added to the oil, and that smearing a little on the tires would prevent flats, they would all know I was spouting nonsense.
But for some reason if you make similar medical claims about an "unusual" or unexpected food item (like vinegar, or garlic, or mangosteen...), a huge percentage of people will believe you!
If vinegar really had the claimed health benefits, governments that bear healthcare-realted costs would be putting it in the water.

I don't know why anyone would drink it today !! Some of those other answers are interesting regarding "health" benefits.
In ancient thru medival times, wine, beer, and vinegar were consumed rather than water because of the lack of pure water... though they didn't know the CAUSE, they knew the results !!
Vinegar was known for it's cleansing properties (acidic).

Some people drink vinegar (or take vinegar "pills") believing that it will help them "rev up" their metabolism and in turn help them lose weight.
Disgusting to drink...and of course this does nothing to help them lose any body fat.

Vinegar detoxifies the liver, regulates bowel movements, helps even out the bacteria in the digestive tract, thins mucous, combats pain for arthritis, decreases swelling associated with gout, aids in weight loss, has high amounts of vitamin c for your skin and immunity...I have drand 3 tablespoons of vinegar a day for years!
