#I check obituaries every day for loved ones out there dying from this but congrats I guess.

been seeing some good posts going around talking about alcohol addiction and it’s dangers and warning signs and societal norms and pressure etc which is all good!! But I always see a lot of people responding like “yeah that’s why I think alcohol is EVIL and it should be illegal!”

That’s. Not the solution at all. Making drugs illegal only serves to force addicts into even more dangerous and desperate situations. Alcohol shouldn’t be illegal. I don’t even think heroin and meth should be illegal. I firmly believe in harm reduction approaches and I know so many people who might still be alive if they didn’t have to resort to the things they did just to get relief from their withdrawal symptoms.

Also. You’re not morally superior for not drinking. And that’s a reallyyyyyyy annoying attitude to have and it undermines the whole spirit of wanting addiction to be taken seriously as a real health issue.
