As someone who likes a drink, I endorse this latter point. Being
sober around people who are actually drunk can be quite tiresome.

I don't think Chris meant that he would be issuing ex-cathedra
denunciations of bibulous individuals, or that _someone else_ would be
curbing people's excesses. I read it as an exhortation for people to
curb their own excesses.
The DPL has a lot of social legitimacy. That social influence can be
used to encourage people to behave better.
