There may be some belief, family or community expectation that denies the use of alcohol as part of its way of life. While your concerns are valid, the problem may have to do with breaking a social norm for your culture or group. That generally means that a person may be acting in an unethical manner according to their current community.

The problem – if this is the case – is that violating social boundaries but still expecting privileges given to those within the community. Gain professional counsel from another in the community about how such matters are handled. Follow their advice if the advice forwards the greatest good for ALL members concerned, not just the person.
