Beer is a physically addictive mind altering substance, so of course we haven't decided to get rid of it (because it literally drugs you), but people go sober all the time because they know how bad it is.

The entire United States banned beer in the 1920s, and then un-banned it in the 30s, using a process that is unthinkable today.
