Like I said, the only reason they allow alcohol is because thay lack the ability to control it. It's pretty easy to make and widely consumed, but the difference between alcohol and, say, marijuana, is that it's really easy to poison/permenantly injure/kill someone from a bad batch of hooch than from a plant that you smoke.
Now, ideally, a government would downgrade it's status upon review of the drug in a scientific environment, but as far as these people are concerned, it is a subclassification in a field they disapprove and despise through and through. To them, it doesn't matter if cocaine or heroin is more addictive, or if they aren't as completely harmful as once thought. What matters is that they are still drugs, they still cost lives and workforce energy, create black markets for crime and that cannot, and will not, ever be even tacitly endorsed.
