Enjoying inebriation

Is there something inherently wrong with enjoying inebriation? 

I enjoy the sensations I get from accomplishment of goals and whatnot. However, I really also enjoy the feeling of having accomplished my work of the day then coming home and turning my mind into mush for a few hours. 

What is the morality on this sort of thing?

A utilitarian like Bentham would presumably say there's nothing wrong with it, so long as the potential negatives don't overwhelm the positives. If, for example, drinking was a drain on your productivity as a worker, that might be bad overall for society, which would make drinking bad. On the other hand, if drinking keeps you from succumbing to work stress, then it's a net win, right?

A utilitarian like Mill, on the other hand, would say that there's a qualitative difference between types of pleasure, and the pleasure you get from handicapping your own will with alcohol is inferior to the pleasure you might otherwise get from, say, studying history or listening to Bach.

Both of them might note the research on the long-term effects of frequent inebriation and deduce that, yeah, there's something wrong with enjoying it too often or too much.
