Okay, and? Yes, we don't have rules for every single possibly protective thing, but we do have rules for a lot of them. Your line of reasoning could also be used against seat belt laws or building codes: why have those for public safety if we don't ban alcohol? edit: also, while I don't support banning alcohol, it wouldn't be a violation of a person's basic rights to ban it. That used to be the law of the land in the US, and even today there are still some dry counties (alcohol cannot be sold).
