Maybe in their minds, but not in reality. Someone who gets high every evening costs society a hell of a lot less than someone who throws back a 6-pack or a case every evening. In medical costs, in court costs, and in every way you can possibly measure.

Simply put, the country cannot wage a war on drugs while alcohol and tobacco are still perfectly legal. More people die from cigarettes per year (400,000) than die in a decade from heroin or cocaine.

Misplaced resources.
