I am legally perscribed amphetimes, also known as speed...so is that "intoxicated" When I drank heavily, I could down a pitcher of beer, get on a motorcycle and then go "drinking" so at what point was I "intoxicated"? Some people are quite unsafe sober, others are on anti-depressants, others are mentally retarded in some way but we don't whine and snivel about them. The ban on alcohol came about for the same reason some groups ban hugging. It is easier to "just say no" than to deal with individuals. Just like "don't flog the kidneys" is a mantra for some and others realize that there are safe levels and unsafe levels to do so. However, to make life easy for a DM we ban sex, alcohol, loud play, fun, intensity, ad naseum. I understand people who embrace the concept, I feel the same way about gun play, I could do it (but I would never) safely but I would never stay at an event where it was going on. Overreaction rarely gets people killed...
