Alcohol is a drug

Alcohol kills more people every year than all the hard drugs put together.
Yet somehow alcohol has become so normalised that we see it as an essential to a happy life!
We rarely call alcohol a drug - but alcohol absolutely IS a drug - I think the confusion arises because alcohol is legal
Not only is it legal but the hype is that a small amount is good for you - it's not!
Although alcohol is chemically designed to be addictive somehow people who drink too much are seen as "weak"
Whereas if someone starts taking heroin we expect them to become addicted!
Amy Winehouse used alcohol and drugs yet she struggled with alcohol the most.
Although the media liked to focus on her drug use alcohol was the only drug in her body when she died.
Having a "hangover" is seen as perfectly acceptable whereas "coming down" from a drug not so much.
All these contradictions prove that we treat alcohol differently from other drugs - when we really shouldn't.
