What? No we don't, we just take away their license or put them in jail. And again, the chemical changes resulting from whatever withdrawal they might experience is not the punishment. The chemical changes that one experiences from being castrated is the punishment.
Actually, it is almost always a condition of their probation that they not drink. And the point you're eliding is that the government is already dictating a change in body-chemistry ... no matter the reasoning.
As for your emphasis on punishment, what good do you think is served to society by punishing criminals as opposed to rehabilitating them? I don't know that the latter is possible with sex-offenders, but I'm deeply uncomfortable with the idea of a justice system playing to the gallery.
