Alcohol is EVERY BIT as much of a mind altering drug as ANY DRUG that people go to prison for selling and using. It kills MORE people than ANY other mind altering addicting drug. THAT is a fact.
No, it's a fact that you're full of shit. Most people know at least some druggies and probably many functioning alcoholics. Sure you can drink until you die but you can die from drugs too. I've known people who fried their brains from drugs at a young age and never made it all the way back.
China had an experiment with letting people do what they wanted, thanks to British opium. They went from the number one economy in the world to a deficit. They outlawed it and the Brits had a temper tantrum and went to war and got it legalized again, at the Chinese expense.
Society can and should outlaw substances too harmful for public consumption, we don't need to learn the same lessons over and over like a hopeless junkie.
Why MUST you respond to my posts with such willful ignorance?
I never said that alcohol was EQUIVALENT to other drugs. BUT as drugs go it certainly does act much in the same as most recreational and addicting drugs. It alters perception, addictive etc. It kills in a variety of ways from OD to causing auto crashes or the killing of innocents by drunk auto operators.
A standard Manhattan Iced Tea is stronger and more inhibiting than 15 mg of Morphine Sulfate ER.
I take the Morphine for chronic pain and have for a couple of weeks having been weened off of methadone for over a year for the same chronic pain that will not be going away in my lifetime.
I don't partake in ANY recreational drug usage at this time..though in my youth tried most everything at least once.
Recently a friend bought me an Iced Tea and it was far more intoxicating than one of my pain med pills.
I think you just blow this shit straight out of your ass mostly aimed at posters you don't like regardless of the topic.
It makes you appear foolish or stupid...or both.
