It's fascinating. Everywhere you turn brewery this, best liquor that. You would think they would be against it given how many lives it's destroyed and the addiction it causes.

A good beer or whiskey isn't quite the same as shooting heroin between your toes.

because the politicians are great at spin, and after decades that spin becomes ingrained as fact.

I think most people would take a dim view of "street" alcohol too, if it were prevalent.

Because we blindly think because something is illegal it must be scary and evil since Daddy govt said so. Alcohol is just about the worst "drug" there is

I get what you saying about the horrors of alcoholism but you can be the guy that only has a few drinks on a special occasion while it's doubtful you can be the guy that only bangs heroin or meth once in a blue moon.

Because alcohol was often the only potable liquid around for centuries. It is a food product. It served a purpose beyond mere intoxication.

LONDON (Reuters) - Alcohol is a more dangerous drug than both crack and heroin when the combined harms to the user and to others are assessed, British scientists said Monday. Presenting a new scale of drug harm that rates the damage to users themselves and to wider society, the scientists rated alcohol the most harmful overall and almost three times as harmful as cocaine or tobacco. According to the scale, devised by a group of scientists including Britain's Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD) and an expert adviser to the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), heroin and crack cocaine rank as the second and third most harmful drugs.
