I have no problem with drugs being legal.
You want to indulge in a club or your home? Go ahead.
But you don't get any "diminished capacity" excuse if you if you do harm to someone while under the influence.
I was just pointing out that Prohibition did what it was meant to do. It cut drastically back on drunkenness especially in the lower class.
Compare the difference in British and American twenty somethings drinking. Generally Americans go out for a drink and go home with a buzz, the British get puke your guts out drunk.
It has become ingrained culturally in the US that getting falling down drunk is something that you should not do as a general rule.

Amen to all that!
