You simply can't do what you suggest. We tried banning alcohol once. It did reduce the number of alcoholics. It also created massive organized crime syndicates that routinely murdered people. Banning vice always creates black markets, those markets tend to have issues spilling violence into the society around them.
Out of curiosity, would you support a liberalization of drugs if we were able to operate a system of selective prohibition, where alcoholics and drug addicts could have access revoked?
