“Nobody would say "It is sad that you need that glas of Prosecco to celebrate New Year's with your friends."”
There are actually quite a large number of people who would say exactly that. It’s a minority position, but there are still quite a few people in the US who are opposed to alcohol consumption and have exactly the same concerns about it as other drugs. (Often, but not always, based in religious convictions.)
- atoav 4y agoI simplified reality for the sake of argument. It goes without saying that there are people who have religious or moralic concerns, there also people who have actual good reasons to avoid alcoholic drinks (e.g. if you or someone in your family had problems with alcohol in the past). I think a realistic stance towards drugs like alcohol or MDMA demands that we do not ignore the problems these drugs cause, but also see with how many users they don't cause any problem at all.
