I don't see the inconsistency here, (guns, alcohol and drugs make a deadly combination), but I do see an inconsistency with gun control advocates screaming about more regulation while completely ignoring the far more deadly alcohol related violence.
I think you do have a point here. In general I think regulation is better than criminalization.
For the rest, I think alcohol = drugs...but since almost everybody uses it, hardly anyone wants to debate it that way.
