It may be easy for Mr. Petit, but it's a little more difficult for others. We're European, and having a glass a wine with food is not a problem for us. We never feel we're criminal. Where it becomes criminal, however, is when a person whose faculties are impaired drives a vehicle and risks killing or seriously injuring someone. The vehicle then becomes a weapon. In those cases, the person in question must not be considered sick, but rather as someone who has committed a crime. Using a firearm to hunt within the parameters is fine; that causes no problem. Using a firearm in other circumstances becomes criminal.
I would suggest to you an experiment that might enlighten the committee. Take the test; it's worth it. We administer it to police officers who are taking development courses and who are trying to get certified as blood alcohol test technicians. The behaviour of some people suggests, prima facie, that they don't tolerate alcohol as well as others. By writing or taking a few small tests, you'll see that your faculties are impaired and that you too are dangerous. The idea isn't to say that no one in Canada should drink, but to acknowledge that, in driving a motorcycle or another motor vehicle, a person whose faculties are impaired by alcohol becomes a potential criminal.
