      The outcome just shows how much worse alcohol is than any other drug.

        There are lots of drugs worse than alcohol. Meth, fentanyl, or heroine for example.

        Alcohol is worse than marijuana though.

          Worse is a subjective term. Alcohol causes more deaths per year (140,000+) than all other drug overdose deaths combined (~103,000). Alcohol also has significant long term health impact for even light users. I think what’s truly the worst is how normalized alcohol use and abuse is in American society.

          Fun fact: withdrawal from alcohol can and frequently does kill people.

          Withdrawal from meth doesn’t kill people and it’s uncommon for people to die from opiate withdrawal.

          Alcohol is a horrible drug.

          True. And I don’t get Fentanyl at all, I mean I don’t do drugs myself and I really never wanted them but - c’mon people, Fentanyl? You’d be better off ingesting rat poison. Why would anyone deliberately take such a thing.

        What’s really bad about alcohol is, people who abuse it don’t think it IS a drug. And they don’t see it as having any negative effects until it’s already created and addictive pattern and need for it.
