How would you feel if you saw your child's teacher staggering drunk leaving the bar getting ready to drive themself home at 3:00 a.m?
People can be terminated by many companies for not upholding a proper lifestyle image.

Most of my students' parents would be too drunk to recognize me.

In all seriousness, I agree with upholding certain standards of conduct, but if a teacher wants to engage in an entirely legal behavior on their off-duty hours which has no impact on their ability to perform their job duties, they should be able to without fear of repercussions. Drinking alcohol and even being drunk is not against the law. Though, being wasted at 3:00 AM may make it difficult to show up and teach at 7:30 AM. Hangover + Boisterous Students = PAIN.
My personal opinion is that it is irresponsible for a teacher to drink to the point of drunkenness. I personally choose not to drink at all as I see no benefit to it and am prone to having additions (no desire to become an alcoholic). But that is a moral matter, not one of legality.
Just my .02.
