It’s easily the worst drug that we have such easy access to. I know so many people who have died or almost died from drinking too much alcohol, and developing a problem.

I don’t know if it’s the worst but it had me in its progressive grips in me for a long time. Lost my job, repoed my truck, and almost lost my house. I think that’s one of the most destructive capacities of alcohol. It takes everything from you at a snails pace.

Because it is something humans have been consuming since pretty much the dawn of civilization.

It’s not that complicated.

ETA, Although, to be fair, not so much liquor. That’s a relatively new deal.

I always say it, after watching Airport drunken arrest videos or DWIs when the person is shite faced.

If alcohol were illegal today, it'd be hard to make it legal after seeing the state those people are in. It's crazy to think about.

The looks of it are similar to someone on Meth that's out of their mind.

Some people can handle it better than others. I cannot so I’ve been avoiding it.

Easy. Because the Government can tax it and make money.

Because the vast majority of people who consume it, do it occasionally and don’t get into a stupor. Many enjoy the taste, many drink a bit and feel nothing, not even a buzz. We have been consuming it since the beginning of recorded history. It would be like outlawing deserts because a few people can’t control their behavior and over eat to the point of obesity, and it causes family trauma due to disease and early death.

Because it stinks and the people around it stink. Otherwise no one would care.

Since the overwhelming majority of people that use it, do so in an appropriate manner.

People have been doing Psychedelics since the beginning of time too, but those aren’t legal and readily available.

Same goes for weed, but we can’t make that legal…

Those were not as widely used throughout societies though.

That enforcement is because the smell bothers people and much more importantly, to keep a certain group away from campus on game days
