I'm not, but as others have mentioned someone who can no longer drink in a public bar could secure access to a lounge if they can do so there instead. For the restriction to be effective it needs to apply everywhere, not based on a presumption that those in the lounges are somehow better behaved or self-regulating (the latter not being necessarily true, in my experience).
