This is flat out false. in addition, the physical withdrawal from alcohol addiction is significantly worse than the symptoms from opioid withdrawal. Alcohol withdrawal can actually kill you. My father was a severe alcoholic (i.e. physically dependent) and would have to get hospitalized on a semi regular basis to help him get through withdrawal safely. Opioid withdrawal is terrible but iirc it is not directly life threatening.
