Can anyone actually make a convincing argument why alcohol is good actually? I'm not straight edge, I'll have a drink or two once or twice a week. But it seems obvious to me that the world would be a better place without alcohol.

I agree, alcohol isn't a root issue. And yeah things aren't innately good or bad. Banning it is a bad idea but clearly working out way towards a world without it is a good idea
I definitely think a major culture overhaul on how it's viewed (specifically towards drinking in excess), increasing acceptance around recovery programs, and alleviating the material conditions that make people turn to alcohol in the first place would help a lot and would all be good steps. Alcohol can be cool and good in the right settings and I feel that can be preserved while also addressing the darker underbelly of it. I feel the same way about all substances tbh
