Like many controversial issues regarding government policy, it's an arbitrary line. Different people's brains are susceptible to addiction to different things. I don't enjoy drinking but I still understand some people struggle with alcohol addiction and that it could potentially be a net positive if alcohol were outright banned. It's pretty condescending to simplify people struggling with addiction as simply lacking self control.
