This is not a problem British Columbia has. Alcohol consumption and selling is already quite restricted in BC.

I mean, { may I have / may I not have } a beer in exactly all the places where someone else { may | may not } enjoy non-alcohol drugs?

If it's not consistent, what is the rationale?

A beer is not as addictive as Heroin. Drinking a beer is not going to ruin your life.

Fantastic news! So, in British Columbia, may I enjoy one next to someone who is doing heroin, and is allowed to? (Getting tired of clarifying my unanswered question.)

As far as I know, there are only a handful of places in Vancouver where you can have alcohol in public. https://vancouver.ca/streets-transportation/alcohol-consumpt...

So, the answer is: no. People smoking meth today do so freely in and around the Skytrain stations where alcohol is not allowed.

It is consistent after this change, yes. Or even better for beer, since there are parks you can have a beer.
