Well it is considered the hardest drug if you ask any alcoholic, or family memeber of a person who has died from an alcohol related disease, or alcohol poinsening.

More people have died and been addicted to alcohol, more than any other drug in the world combined all at the same time.
Plus alcohol is the only drug that effects every part of your body such as...
brain, bones, tissue, liver, kidneys, stomache, throat, blood...ect.

Alcohol should be illigal but the reason it is not is becuase it bumps up the economy....to many people demand it therefor it must be supplied. They tried to outlaw it back in the day but were overflowed by bootleggers...which is why well, it became legal again...

I bet every person knows at least 2 or 3 people who have problems with alcohol...
its sad, but true.

The term “hard drug” is generally used to describe those drugs that are highly addictive (i.e. you can be hooked after only a few uses). Alcohol is addictive, but not highly addictive.

for their addictive tendencies and the fact that sugar and cacao can change your look at reality.

Sorry I gotta buzz in here.
Alcohol by many people is considered a drug. It is highly addictive OR....ther wouldnt be so many people dying and addicted to it. Infact alcohol kills more people and has more people addicted to it than all other drugs in the world combined at the same time....compared to alcohol. FACT.
But I just really wanted to state to nozferatu...that MDMA was designed in labs as a depression medication BUT...it worked to good and too many people "thought" so they didnt pass it as becoming an actual anti depressant...

Schmee: Nobody here is denying that alcohol is a drug. However, it is not highly addictive. In fact, of addictive recerational drugs, alcohol is the least addictive. Your argument that alcohol has more people addicted to it than any other drugs is accurate, but you are relying on faulty logic. More people are addicted to alcohol because far more people use aclohol. As a percentage of users, it has the least number of addicts of all recerational drugs.
