Heather,
What is so scary about it?
The message is absolutely appropriate - it is against co-sleeping with a 
parent who was /*drinking alcohol, doing drugs and/or smoking*/,

If I do remember correctly in addition to above conditions, the rules of 
co-sleeping apply only to breastfeeding (exclusive BF in younger 
infants) and should also exclude unsafe sleeping arrangements (sofa 
beds, soft beds, a lot of soft bedding, etc), non- biological parent, 
and/or medical/psychological conditions affecting mother's sleep/wake cycle.
