I don't think it's good enough. It's just one situation, but there are others. Alcohol makes people more aggressive. It also makes them piss on the streets.

A neighborhood I lived in banned alcohol sales past 10pm for those reasons. The fact is there are social costs to alcohol and they have to be internalized somehow. Taxes are a pretty good way of doing that.

To be fair, lack of public toilets is often a bigger cause of pissing on the streets ;)
