ad technology admittedly provides a possibility for monetization, which can justify something to an accountant, but it is completely perpendicular to use-value and technical feasibility. it does not "enable" anything to exist.

these exist. ghb, methqualone, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines all have a similar mechanism of action, cross-tolerance, and similar withdrawal syndromes, but fewer side-effects than alcohol. alcohol withdrawal is often treated with benzod
