Alcohol is legal, and it is not acceptable to be drunk at work.
Weed being legal similarly doesn't mean it has to be acceptable to be high at work.

I've been to many dinner business meetings with plenty of drinking. To the point that rides are needed to get people home.

there's a reason I left it off. but it also kind of depends on where you work. I've known plenty of "functioning" alcoholics that aren't reprimanded until it becomes a problem. societal acceptance of booze is mostly because it's been around for about as long as we have- its production certainly goes into the neolithic period; coupled with the belief that it's effects only last through being hung over.
