In Norway and Sweden you can only buy alcohol from the government monopoly, and they have a national ID system so they can monitor consumption (I don't think either of them still do this since the days of ration cards though). So you could do something like that - it's available but consumption is monitored. The main benefit would be taking all the money away from gangs.
