re: Why is alcohol legal?

quote:

---

Responsible for more deaths than any other drug

Breaks up more families than any other drug

Have seen more people’s life spiral out of control more than any other drug

Only drug that can cause death stopping cold turkey for addicts.

Most of these stats are due to the fact that it’s legal and readily available. It’s also glorified in commercials of every show you watch. Why is that OT? Why is the drug allowed?

Because adults can decide for themselves what they choose to imbibe. Adults assess the risk vs. reward for themselves. Adults get to decide for themselves if they want to do things that are healthy or unhealthy. Adults are autonomous and do not need jackasses with "Baby" in their name parenting them.
