Health Buzz: Alcohol More Harmful to Society Than Heroin or Ecstasy

Alcohol is the worst drug in society.
Alcoholics wake up and drink bloody mary's at the start of their day. They drink alcohol at lunch, sometimes at work, then at dinner and virtually all day long until they go to bed, or pass out. US society seems perfectly okay with this. Alcohol advertising is EVERYWHERE! US society has been lulled into believing that alcohol isn't bad for you. In fact, there are some "scientists" that claim alcohol is healthy. Too bad they all seem to ignore the research that has already been done. Alcohol has absolutely no nutritional benefit, it's empty calories. There is a reason the surgeon general warning has been on alcoholic beverages for years. If you think alcohol is harming your health, guess what, IT IS!!

Who writes this tripe? Based on this logic, if all users of alcohol switch to a less " "harmful" drug...say methamphetamine...we would be better off. Bullsh_t

I was on ecstasy and I had a designated driver.
Obviously you were retarded

I can see where your stupidity in driving while impaired invalidates all methodologies of research. I appreciate your stepping down from your lofty perch to illucidate us on your experience.

This study is false. I was high on ecstasy and almost drove into oncoming traffic.
All Drugs are a trickle down effect and one leads to another use to get that high
