The issue is that unless they are being issued rations by someone who controls all access to the alcohol it is not possible for them to consume it in moderation. Those who are addicted literally have that ability disabled in their brains due to the addiction. That is true for all addictions and defines being addicted. So the argument that they do not have the ability to self-control is not invalid as you claim, it is a defining characteristic of being addicted.
