It simply isn't a weapon of mass destruction. You can bend and twist it any way you like, it simply is not.

Just to ground you a little bit:

> Facts About U.S. Deaths from Excessive Alcohol Use: About 178,000 people die from excessive drinking each year.

https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/facts-stats/index.html



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.
