I agree with you about people intoxicated at work and elsewhere. That's why that also is against the law.

But intoxication in one's own home is legal (so long as no minors are in one's care), as is the making, selling, and possession of alcohol ... so there's no reason for more stringent rules to apply to other drugs.

That might make sense, if the intoxication were identical of all drugs.

Otherwise you're comparing a butter knife to a nuclear weapon.. Which you always do with drugs.

You can't always be intoxicated in your home. As you yourself admit, you can't participate in child endangerment while drunk.

If you have your business out of your house and you have an employee, you legally can't be drunk either because that is an illegal work enjoyment under both the health code and under the rules of running a business.

You also know what you get with alcohol, but with various drugs there are no standards unless you get them from your doctor legally for a condition. So it's a lot more dangerous to do drugs illegally.

Plus alcohol in moderation or less is actually is good for you to both thin the blood and to purify the food.
Illegal drugs poison you and cause various medical conditions in various ways.
