Quoted: Um, no.
You're comparing casual alcohol consumption to drug use, period. They're not the same thing to anybody not bent on forcing legalization down normal people's throats. |
Actually, I didn't compare anything. Read the thread again and see if you can understand what happened. He said he didn't know any successful recreational drug users. Alcohol is a recreational drug. There are obviously successful people who use it. Therefore, he wasn't making an accurate statement. Get it now?
But, I know you won't be happy without a comparison, so let's just compare deaths caused by drugs for starters:
Tobacco - about 400,000 per year
Alcohol - about 100,000 per year
Prescription drugs - about 100,000 per year
All the illegal drugs combined - about 10,000 per year
Cocaine - about 2,500 per year
Heroin - about 2,000 per year
Tylenol - about 2,000 per year
Marijuana - no recorded deaths in US history
Did you have some other facts to compare?

Sorry, but I don't think I have ever heard one of their songs. Certainly not that I could recognize. But don't let a little thing like facts get in the way of your erroneous assumptions.
