After some consideration and thinking I have come to the following conclusion: The Finale needed more time. not in the production time mind you (Although that would get increased too) but the actual showtime. There was a lot of rushed elements in the plot.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
I personally think the "ponies don't drink" angle comes more from the fact that it's a kids show. Admittedly they have tried to spin it as an aspect of the universe and even tried the whole "salt= alcohol" thing, but I don't think it quite works.
Especially due to the
Frothing Mugs Of Water and
Getting Crap Past the Radar moments. I think it's pretty clear they do have alchohol and just don't explicitly show it due to it being a kids show.

Inebriation is...Well, it's not magic that's for sure.
Also, Soft Cider doesn't foam like that.
Sibsy did say that the screenwriters saw Berry Punch as the town drunk, and that she originally tried to slip in a scene that would have shown her beyond a doubt being drunk, but it got toned down.
Build a fool proof system, and the world will create a better fool.

Also there's stuff like Appletini and the spiked punch.

I still stick to my headcanon of "Celestia has built up a tolerance to alcohol over the millennium (not a heavy drinker, but a glass of wine every so often); she couldn't get drunk even if she wanted to."

"I've come to the conclusion that this is a very stupid idea."
I see Luna as being the party animal, after all why else is it called moonshine

@Seraphem: It's a top-grade superliquor filtered by magic, a unique trick only Luna can pull off. Luna's Moonshine is the smoothest drink in Equestria.
My theory (And I really hope it ain't true) is that S3 Announcements will come at comic-con New York.
Why do you hope it isn't true?

I expect the Hub to ninja announcements on us.
It will be announced by the Spanish Inquisition.

I've probably said it before, but it would be really funny if Valve just skips
HL 3 and releases
HL 4 instead to troll everyone.
