I had the same, brief reaction. However, millions of people, some with mental issues, are perfectly capable of having a little champagne during the holidays and not losing control of themselves. At a certain point, you just have to deal with a dominant culture (and attendant images) that celebrates with a little (or a lot of) drinking.
I don't linger, I just click on "community" and continue-and I really haven't thought about the image since that initial time.
