What is law other than a manifestation of a moral code? Rape, robbery, and murder are abhorrant according to most individual moral codes. The law allows for penalties to those who don't share that conviction and lack self-control, and acts as a deterrant to those who may not share the same moral value, but aren't lacking self-control.
Morals govern what we do. Laws govern what we may do to others. Personally, I think that if an individual wants to take drugs, or use alcohol in a way which will do no harm to others, fine and dandy, he answers only to his moral code. If the alcohol or drugs cause that individual to harm others, he answers to everyone's moral code.
