There's "police" and police. I don't think anyone's recommending you pull on black tights, a kevlar vest with molded nipples, and a black cape and go knocking beers out of strangers' hands. There is, however, such a thing as noticing if your friends and loved ones are suffering from addiction and intervening to see what can be done before the addiction becomes someone else's problem. And speaking from some limited personal experience? Sometimes the problem someone is trying to medicate out with alcohol is feeling like nobody cares if they live or die. You might be surprised how much someone going out of their way to care does for a person's psyche. Tattoos don't generally correlate causally with vehicular manslaughter; overindulgence in alcohol does, we have the numbers on it.
