Yes,
Ignoring that trying to convince the entirety of society to never drink again at social gatherings (even in your "drunk at home" ideal unless people exclusively drink alone and never at other people's homes they will still need a way to get home) is a complete non-starter based on the last 9,000-odd years of human society and interaction.
Ignoring that removing all public consumption of alcohol from bars, restaurants, sports events, and basically everywhere else would have a huge knock-on effects for all sorts of areas of the economy.
Ignoring that many people are able to drink the 2-3 beer that makes it illegal for them to drive without becoming a "slobbering mess-making drunk".
Ignoring all the thousand other anti-social things people do on transit and in public that makes life miserable most places.
Your idea makes sense and will solve your annoyance without thousands of people dying every year.

Jumping straight from 'don't be a slobbering drunk in public' to 'never drink again at social gatherings' is the usual alcoholic response to any suggestion that they may be doing anything wrong. It's disingenuous to attack me - after all the 'public drunkenness' violation was voted into law, and not just by me personally.
