I can't disagree with your position more, I'm afraid. If the choice is between allowing access for all or access none, I think we need to swallow the bitter pill and, accepting that some will suffer, choose the latter.

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?

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.
