It's the shittest drug ever. If it was illegal I wouldn't go out of my way to get it.

I worded the title wrong. I just mean it's ridiculous that it's legal considering other drugs aren't.

This is such a fucking "I just turned 18 and am questioning society" type thread isn't it.

Everything should be legal. and I mean EVERYTHING.

And there being no limit to how much you can buy or posses. And alcohol advertising not being banned.

Alcohol's an average drug, there's nothing special about it but it's not terrible either. It is ridiculous that alcohol is legal and pretty much every other drug isn't tho

Alcohol sucks,I don't know why its so addictive for me.
I did amps for years and coke,I quit cigs no problem.
Fuck I wish I could be sober for more than 12 hours without going nuts.

You know what you fucking cucks? Fuck drugs. Alcohol is legal for a damn good reason. And that is because you literally cant stop people from making it.

In and of itself, ethanol is an extremely disappointing drug. What are its effects? Retardation, loss of inhibition and coordination. Its emotional effects are something I am amazed people put up with for such a socially acceptable drug. You can be euphoric and happy and springy, loving life and having the best goddamned night of your life. Or, you can be depressed, the only reason you haven't cut yourself tonight yet being that you'd have to sharpen your razor blade. Perhaps Alcohol makes you angry, jumpy, unsettled.
Then of course, there's the hangover and oh god what a withdrawal that is. Because that's what it is, you know? Acute withdrawal and dehydration. I never feel that bad after a ketamine binge or a tokeout session or an LSD trip. Even a speed hangover I would prefer as it doesn't involve massive headaches and wanting to throw up. Ever gotten so drunk the first thing you do upon waking up is expel last night's chicken parmesan onto your living room rug? It's scary to think about, what if you had puked that up in your sleep? What if you had suffocated to death on your own puke?
Oh yeah, it's deadly too. You can very easily buy enough to kill you, costs like 14 bucks in the US. It wouldn't be that hard either, once you get past the first five drinks or so the next dozen become exponentially easier to slug down.
And that said, I fucking love alcohol. I do, I really do. I love it and I'm pretty sure it loves me and we're gonna get married and have two little cider children named whiskey and tequila. I love exploring new craft beers, I love smashing a 12 pack with a friend, I love being able to have a glass of wine with my parents, I love being able to have the power of liquor in my hands to escape at any given moment.
Alcohol is the best shitty drug I've ever had the displeasure of enjoying.
