Alcohol is ingrained in dominant western culture, not all human society though. I don't think it's the easiest drug to come by in nature and has tons of detrimental side effects. Believe me, I get why alcohol is so central to us; it's part and parcel of the New Testament after all, but that still doesn't make its place in our society logical when you compare its harmful effects.Alcohol is not the same as other drugs, it's socially ingrained in human society and you can't separate that while still having an intelligent conversation.
