The 2nd amendment is about firearms and not about drugs. “The right to keep and bear drugs” is not in the Constitution.
Therefore, like many things it is controllable. Driving is controlled via licenses. FISHING is controlled via licensing.
Alcohol is controlled by ID checks and by greater potency alcohol being sold in state stores (at least in Ohio).
In my opinion, some things should be by prescription BUT available. Others should be in state stores. There should be DUI laws. There is no such thing as access that makes it ok to harm someone else, either through intoxicated acts or thoughtlessness.
But the enumeration of powers delegated to the federal government is. (See amd 9, 10)

Nothing in the Constitution gives the federal governemnt the right to license fishing, driving*, or even alcohol.

That would likely be a state, county, or other local executive action, not a federal one.

Who said anything about making it ok to harm someone else
? I didn't; nor has anyone else here.
That's the flipside of the idiotic modifiers to laws "if a gun is used" — the gun is only a tool, it should have no bearing on the acceptability/legality of the action in the first place; likewise, being drunk or high is not a justification for some action.
* Driving
is intentionally conflated between the legal meaning (for profit transport; e.g. taxis, buses, freight-shipping) and the colloquial (operation of a vehicle). The same is done with "motor vehicle" — US Code, Title 18, Section 31, subsection A, #6, Motor vehicle: The term ‘motor vehicle’ means every description of carriage or other contrivance propelled or drawn by mechanical power and used for commercial purposes on the highways in the transportation of passengers, passengers and property, or property or cargo.
