You can even overdose on water and die from it.
Some would argue the government should ration your water for you so this doesnt happen.

. I'm sorry but to compare heroin to Advil (or even whiskey) insofar as their level of danger is concerned is just absurd.
Why? Plenty of crimes and deaths and ruined lives come from an excess of alcohol.
Remember this came from the discussion of individual rights.
Why are you ok with someone going to the store and buying 5 gallons of whiskey then driving around or dying of alcohol poisoning, but not ok with their ability to go buy some heroin?
Why is ok that drug addicts have to deal with drug dealers and crime to fuel their addictions and alcoholics can walk into walgreens and buy it without the slightest complaint from anyone?

Please point to the people who are calling for the government to ration our water to prevent us from overdosing and killing ourselves with it. I'd like to know who these people are.

Because there is an acceptable level of consumption of things like Advil or whiskey that a responsible adult can consume without harming themselves or others. There is no safe level of consumption for heroin.
