I've seen
much more damage done through alcohol than any other drug. I used to live next door to long-term heroin users / addicts. They both kept down good jobs and kept a tidy house. On the other hand, I've seen alcohol destroy many people.

It just makes me angry that the only drugs legalised are the worst ones. Years ago, I remember hearing a Radio 4 program about coroners. "What's the best thing society could do to minimise death ?" the interviewer asked. Without pausing, they all answered "ban alcohol". It's responsible for something like 70% of hospital admissions, and features highly in reasons behind any kind of domestic abuse.

And all the bad things I've done have been when drunk...
