Come on, this is false equivalence. How many die from a glass of wine that has 1000x more alcohol than lethal dose? How many get intoxicated just by touching a beer bottle itself?
I get where you are going with this tho - decriminalized free access to drugs would be far cheaper and safer for most.
Just to ground you a little bit:
