Anyone who can't have a good time without drinking alcohol has a serious problem IMO

I agree; but, that is a dangerous policy to set into motion. There are very few things that can be justified on the basis of a needs test. Unless you want to live the life of a slave; you must be tolerant of how others choose to entertain themselves. For whatever it is that gives your life meaning, I am sure that we can find a majority that would dissapprove. To live life you must be willing to accept and tolerate risks.

I didn't propose prohibition. However, I do think our legal system needs to be changed to hold intoxicated people (alcohol or any other drug) 100% responsible for their actions, just as if they had not been intoxicated. That is not currently the case. I also think that any private individual or company should be free to "discriminate" on the basis of alcohol/drug usage. For example, as far as I know, there isn't any place in this country where a landlord can legally prohibit any alcohol use on his/her rental property and promptly evict any tenant who violates the policy.
