It's still kind of the crack cocaine, we have just developed more damaging versions of drug that pale the impact of alcohol. It's really a matter of resource and attention prioritization. If we somehow were able to immunize all of humanity against all drug addictions besides alcohol, we would then start realizing the damage to society alcohol causes. When your house is on fire you really aren't too concerned with the damage being caused from burst pipes.
- dionidium 11y agoI think the retort here is that alcohol is actually the house fire and the scarier sounding drugs are the leaking pipes
- yellowstuff 11y agoThis is a common misconception. Alcohol does more damage than all other drugs combined. http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Causes_of_Death#sthash.cJvyphSL.ggBfWX2D.dpbs http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Causes_of_Death#sthash.cJvyp... Obviously alcohol is very safe in terms of having many more recreational users than abusers, but that is not as true in places where it is illegal.
