To put it bluntly; if you let drugs and alcohol control (and potentially ruin) your life then perhaps it shouldn't have been lived at all. People without strong character or willpower shouldn't be able to participate in a mature, rational, intelligent society.
I'd even go so far as to say that perhaps drugs and alcohol exist almost as a form of control in humanity. A subtle means of population and gene pool pruning. Those who can handle them in a mature and wise manner prosper while enjoying the relaxing and holistic effects of the drugs and those who succumb to the base pleasure they provide.
