Add to that a ban on alcohol consumption a certain time period before sign on during layovers ( the time period is twice as long s the no-drink rule in force)

oh yes, also endless emails and training courses about alcohol consumption, education and checks. Welcome to the new era. Most of this protects the bureaucrat sitting behind the desk rather than the consumer.

It is enough to drive one to drink!
I don't know you, but it really seems like you genuinely need help concerning your relationship with alcohol. Nobody in your privileged position of responsibility should be this upset by rules designed to keep you and others safe. It really makes me question your cognitive abilities and god only knows what your employer would think.
