Finding sober(ish) and stable bandmates can be a pain in the ass.

Hell, in the 1980s I was in a band that got paid by the government to play schools and tell the kids about the dangers of drugs (Reagan era, if you don't know) and we were all pretty much inebriated - even while on stage.

However, I've generally been sober enough to do my job - with a few notable exceptions when I was in bands I really didn't care about and the attitude was more lax.

I think it's payback for when I was in my 20s, and never showed up to rehearsals sober..

Look, if it's a few bros juss dickin around, okay, whatever. But if a band's stated goal is to gig, they should forego gettin shitfaced until AFTER rehearsal. Especially if they are in their 40s-50s. Ain't high school!

You're preaching to the choir, I'm afraid. Unless the stage is full of professionals, I don't play. That definitely includes practice and performance times. You can have a drink or two while performing - if you keep it in check. Rum's good for the vocals, for example.

Once the show is over, you can get as fucked as you want. But, I expect you to be there sober for practice and rehearsals.
