Realistically I see medical science advancing to the point where 'people' will be able to directly adjust their endorphins, etc. As a result, there will be no need for any drugs. Wine may be enjoyed for the taste but implants will scrub out alcohol poisons. Why use indirect and hangover-inducing drugs when direct application will be possible?
Unless you create your universe with good reasons for throwback technologies.
PS, I enjoy SF from the 1960s when characters are puffing away on cigarettes. It's funny to see how our view of the future is colored by our current reality.
