This also applies to alcohol. How do you feel towards it?
- pixelpoet 3y agoSo many people use the phrase "drugs and alcohol", which makes as much sense as saying "meat and beef". The thing those people never want to admit is, they LOVE drugs (coffee, sex, TV, alcohol, tobacco, antidepressants, benzos, ...) but they don't want to acknowledge that they are first class drugs too, because they view "drug users" as losers, because they don't like those drugs in particular.
- marcell 3y agoAlcohol is also bad. Unlike other recreational drugs, we have thousands of years of tradition in society in how to regulate its consumption and handle the negative effects. This includes social traditions, social pressures, and government rules. The rules go down to the specifics of the hours you can buy it, where, how you can carry it around, etc. Things like “alcoholic” are social tropes that are frowned upon and have been for centuries. Maintaining the status quo is very different from changing it. This applies to drug consumption.
