There's acceptance, but at least not in here Norway, not exactly approval. A broad majority in the political parties have agreed that the main line in alcohol policy is restricting harms by restricting access - they refer to this consensus themselves explicitly, so it's not a conspiracy theory by any means. But that's politicians, drawn from the activist class. I'm quite certain there's a lot less consensus in the people, and possibly many "quit bothering us over alcohol, why can't it be cheap and accessible?" votes to be populistically fished for.
