Having been a flower child of the sixties and seventies, most drugs were experimented with by me through the years, including alcohol. Yes, alcohol is a drug. In fact, it has been said to be the most dangerous drug of all because it is legal, glamorized by the media and very easily attained. The last statistic stated by the government warned that there were 93,000,000 alcoholics in the Untied States alone.
Having been a taxi driver who worked nights and weekends, people would often say to me, “I just drink, I don’t do drugs.” This statement soon became a pet peeve of mine. My response quickly comes as, “Alcohol is a drug!” This would sometimes bring a sobering look upon some thoughtful faces. Some would be quite angered by my statement and want to argue with me about it.
Drinkers are in denial and I’ll never tire of saying that alcohol is a drug! This should never be posted anywhere: ‘Drugs and Alcohol’. People! Alcohol is a drug! And if you drink alcohol… you ARE a drug user! Drinkers often consider themselves above than the average drug user because of the ignorant ideology of alcohol not being a drug. Not true, if you drink alcohol you are a drug user! In fact, you are a drug user of one of the most dangerous drugs in our history.
