As I sit here having almost killed an entire bottle of wine in the past couple of hours (it was the only alcohol left in the house), I have to say good story. I can understand why in such a situation a lot of it would focus on females; the whole thing would be terrible, but they'd take the brunt of the effect. Not that many guys get violent when they're drunk, but few don't get horny.

Although the thing is that honestly, alcohol being in all our agriculture wouldn't be THAT difficult to avoid. It would be really difficult for countries with little resources, but for others we'd just start eating basically paste versions of normal agriculture; all you'd have to do is take whatever you wanted to eat, mush it up, spread it out on a cookie sheet, then heat it to [insert evaporation point of alcohol here, I forget] and bam, alcohol free food, which would quickly start happening on an industrial scale. It wouldn't taste great, and actually our jaw muscles might begin to atrophy, but it would be food and it could even feed livestock, not that we'd waste food that expensive to prepare on raising livestock. We'd have to embrace veganism, possibly the most horrific art of the whole story.

Oh, and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is slightly misrepresented. It's just thiamine deficiency, and really only occurs in severely malnourished late stage alcoholics. We're talking less "splicers from bioshock" and more "Rambling, incoherent messes that can barely stand up".
