“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consistency is what matters in law. It’s all about the same word have the same definition in all cases. Alcohol is alcohol is alcohol, same definition, same application. If product X is considered alcohol in one law then it’s alcohol in ALL laws. Period. Otherwise there’s no point in any of the laws.
