Are you claiming people in different countries have different kidneys? “…basically poison that has to be filtered out and fucks up your liver and kidneys.” was the rational by which you defended the position alcohol should be illegalized.
Its consequences do. To get drunk is to have your judgement impaired. Always. You cannot be counted on to think or act stably, which makes you a possible threat to yourself and all those around you.
The more you drink, the more you become a mindless husk reacting solely on whatever fragments of your former self still work.
Long-term it also means medicine, hospital visits, maybe even the need for a transplant. All those are in limited supply, which means your drinking problem will take time and resources away from people with actual unavoidable issues.
A drunk person is a problem and a burden. Their personal choice in this is worth less than the proven consequences of letting them roam free.
To be alive is to risk a personality-changing blot clot in your brain that makes you a risk to those around you. To eat browned foods is to risk transplant-necessitating cancer.
Are we going to throw people into sanitized plastic bubbles and ban interpersonal interaction?
A drunk person is a problem and a burden.
Assholes who want to ban fun are a burden but you don’t see me lobbying for the illegalisation of you.
Irrespective what country a person is in, what exactly are you suggesting be a crime?
Is it just alcohol you have a problem with or should people be arrested for scratching a pig behind the ears or being women drivers?
Depends on the circumstances of a country. Laws should change according to society’s needs.

Do not filter out the words you do not wish to read.
You do the same:
Sometimes, but not in this case.
Willingly and knowingly poisoning yourself for the sake of entertainment is a crime… against humanity.
A personal freedom should not inflict its costs on others. Poisoning oneself does do that and as such should be curtailed where possible.
Being an oppressive dick about what people do to their own damn bodies is a bigger crime than getting drunk.
Drinking doesn’t.
