JUSTICE WARNER
concurs.
¶39 I agree with the result of the Court’s opinion. In this case the record is insufficient to sustain Conditions 9 and 20 of Lessard’s deferred sentence. However, this is not to say that a probation restriction on possessing or ingesting alcohol cannot be justified when the offender has a proven history of abuse of a different intoxicant, such as methamphetamine or marijuana. See State v. Winkel, 2008 MT 89, ¶¶ 15, 16, 342 Mont. 267, ¶¶ 15, 16, 182 P.3d 54, ¶¶ 15, 16.
¶40 With this proviso, I concur in the Court’s opinion.
