You only believe alcohol isn't a drug because it is socially accepted. By that logic, you'd believe rape was legal if it was also socially accepted.
Alcohol kills more people than any other drug except for tobacco. No one is telling you to stop drinking; just don't be hypocrites and hate on others for their recreational activities when you're just like them.
Btw, I had an experimental phase a few years back as well as a prolonged period of smoking cannabis, but I found it to be boring after a while and quit. So no, I'm not some right wing bastard.
You're logic is flawed. The individual consumption of alcohol does not infringe upon others natural right to liberty; last time I checked, rape would be a pretty serious violation of someone's liberty, even if it was, as you so plainly put it, 'socially acceptable.'
And as far as alcohol killing more people than other drugs, it's merely a matter of statistics. More people drink than do drugs, so it is easy to say "alcohol kills more people." And not even that, look at how people die with alcohol - they are not necessarily drinking themselves to death like you can easily do with some drugs (and not over a long period of time like liver cirrhosis), the majority are most likely killed through stupid actions taken after they've already inebriated themselves (meaning they are not directly killed by the consumption of alcohol in a chair in their own home). In addition, plenty of drugs are much more self-destructive than alcohol; ever take a look at what methamphetamine does to people?
You should try stepping off your high horse before you fall and hurt yourself.
Ugh, and your English is sloppy. Please fix it and keep the difference between "they're," "their" and "there" in mind in the future.
