The point being made, although not very clearly - as I read it: It's not the drinking, it's the drinker. We all know people who are 'nasty drunks' and we all know people who behave just fine, even after a full night of drinking. Drinking enhances your emotions. If you're emotionally unstable, getting drunk could well lead to an outburst of feelings and depending on how well you can manage your expressiveness, lead to ill-advised sexual encounters or violence. If you're emotionally in balance, chances are you can keep that balance getting drunk. There are probably health issues to drinking too much, but fixing social issues by throwing a blanket maximum number of drinks indiscriminately over everybody.
