I’m well aware of this chart. I actively push for using other drugs because of this. One way we can help the dangers of alcohol is by having a better public transit system.
Everyone has vices. Alcohol is very historical. We have alcohol in a lot of things, like a lot of food, so it’s impossible to get rid of it or even ban it.
So are you suggesting criminalizing it? Because we tried that once and became a bigger issue than it was while legal.
People are going to drink whether we like it or not, and outlawing it just pushes it underground and let’s criminals take control. The only way to really drive it out of society is to render it socially unacceptable, but then you’re going up against thousands of years of human habit. I’m not saying that the effects of alcohol on the individual and society aren’t bad, but it’s likely to be an unwinnable campaign. Better to legalize the less harmful intoxicants and give people the choice on how they consume their vices, because again, they are going to get their fixes one way or another.
Nutt’s argument relied on large amounts of evidence based on how dangerous each drug actually is in reality.
But sure, because some people consider it a hobby we should definitely keep it legal and let people continue to ruin theirs and others lives!
