Crack was affordable --mostly preppies used coke. Your everyday Joe bought crack. It was bad. I saw what it did to people. But from what I hear about Meth it's just so much worse. People on crack would steal money and they were very flakey but they could still show up to work. Meth addicts just can't function. Alcoholics can function. Now with regard to alcohol, it's such a historically baked-in party of society -we've had it with us for myriads there is no prying it away from folks despite the devastation it brings to its addicts --but that said, it's far from being as bad as Meth.
