Buddha's advice to laypeople on intoxicants.

 Words of the Buddha:

“Furthermore, abandoning the use of intoxicants, the disciple of the noble ones abstains from taking intoxicants. In doing so, he gives freedom from danger, freedom from animosity, freedom from oppression to limitless numbers of beings.” (AN 8.39, tr. Thanissaro Bhikkhu)

The fifth training rule, or precept, is “I undertake the training rule to abstain from intoxicants causing heedlessness”.

Heedlessness means being inattentive to how you are affecting the people and circumstances around you — incapable of seeing the results of your actions. Taking intoxicants is a way of purposely making yourself heedless. The fifth precept gives a guideline for observing causes and effects in one’s consumption behavior, and helps in directing you towards the wholesome. Alcohol and drugs are the most obvious causes of chronic heedlessness, though other obsessions or addictions can also make unwholesome actions seem attractive.
