Adding up the driving under the influence, liquor law violations, and drunkenness arrests I get 2,688,200 alcohol related arrests in 2002 vs 1,538,800 drug arrests.

Just pointing out, alcohol being legal doesn't mean no alcohol related arrests and drugs being legal won't eliminate drug related arrests.
