    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.
