The more level of detail you add, the more you glorify it, the more likely you'll earn a mature rating.

And frankly, this isn't a game that needs mature content of this nature. When did public drunkenness ever fit into the theme of Final Fantasy?
Pirates in Limsa Lominsa, Turks in VII, the pubs in Tactics...alcohol references in FFVI that were nixed by NoA...Jecht in FFX...there's numerous alcohol references throughout the series, and as I listed before, nearly every other MMO includes some form of intoxication. You may not want "mature content of this nature," but that doesn't mean others don't.
