Then nobody would really need to be mad at him for wanting to get drunk in a post apocalyptic zombie world. And for the guy to reach for his gun when Daryl was about to toss the bottle was just off. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of alcohol in this area. For someone who just 2 episodes prior was able to see an entire wall full of booze and pass on it but then defend one bottle like it's his baby is just weird to me.

Being an alcoholic is absolutely a liability in the zombie apocalypse. When you're impaired, you're not on point. Making you a liability. Hell, Tyrese was a liability due to nothing more than anger and frustration. Daryl's reaction was definitely justified.
The thing that got Daryl up into Bob's face was him threatening to draw his gun if Daryl thought about throwing the bottle.
Also, while the shelves are loaded with booze, the opportunities to get to those shelves are few and far between. Not to mention life threatening. The difference between him wanting the booze enough to draw on Daryl now, as opposed to when he set the bottle back down, is thathe now also has Zach's death on his hands. Whether or not you view it as his fault, he blames himself.
