If that's true, do you think alcohol should be regulated differently for members of different racial/ethnic groups? That's a pretty controversial thing to suggest, but it seems to follow if we assume that the government should regulate alcohol at all, and that the regulation should be based on its potential to do harm.

Perhaps identifying at-risk individuals could be used for some social good, but I’d wager any such efforts will ultimately be flawed and harmful.
