This was actually a thing back in they say, some "prohibitionists" were specifically anti-spirits and were fine with beer and wine, often consuming them themselves.

The industrial production of hard liquor was apparently a bit of a shock to the world because they were significantly stronger than anything else at the time (beer and wine also tended to be lower abv than it is now back then). It lead to a massive increase in alcohol linked anti-social behavior to the point encouraging people to go for a beer instead was considered the healthier option.
