Domestic abuse is made worse with alcohol, car accidents, work accidents...
There are many way the whole society pays for allowing people access to a drug such as alcohol.
There is an "iron law of prohibition" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition) which posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases. Such was what happened in the original Prohibition in the US; beer and wine were ditched in favor of more potent hard liquor, which was often poorly made and possibly dangerous to consume.
There seems to be some contradictory opinions on Prohibition's overall effects, but what I seem to gather is that, while drinking overall went down, access to alcohol was still fairly easy (as alcohol isn't difficult to make), and the problem drinkers became more disruptive (due to consuming stronger, often poorly made stuff).
Why should my own enjoyment of life be curtailed, simply because others can't behave themselves? That would be punishing me for others' failings, and that is unjust.
Unless you missed the coercion in the last decade, and more recently in the last three years.
And somehow there will always be someone that tries to justify the ever slippery, 'for the greater good'.
