When it comes to substance use and abuse, our society is built upon a bedrock of hypocrisy. Ours is a society which demonizes psychedelics and celebrates alcohol, despite the fact that alcohol is not only a drug, it is also a poison to the human body, classed as a “Group 1 Carcinogen” – making it as carcinogenic as HIV, asbestos, plutonium, and mustard gas. Isn’t it funny how we use the colloquialism “drugs and alcohol,” as if the two were separate things? Alcohol is most certainly a drug.
Alcohol is closely linked to many forms of cancer as well as a wide variety of diseases and illnesses. It causes millions of deaths per year, is closely linked with assaults (and sexual assault), enhances many social and relationship problems, is highly addictive, and contributes to a large proportion of crime and costs to the economy. But it makes for great business, and brings in so much cash in many different ways. If the media were totally objective, they’d be reporting on the detrimental effects of alcohol like this:

We drink alcohol at nearly every single social event or gathering we attend, whether it be a birthday party, a child’s party, a wake, marriage, public holiday, or sporting event. We drink just because it’s the weekend or because we had a long day at work. And why? The most common (usually unspoken) reasons are “social lubrication” or escapism. We are trying to escape from feelings, emotions, memories, reality, or the troubling aspects of our lives. Often we need it to have an interesting conversation, to make human interactions more appealing. What a world we live in, that we should need an escape so badly. There are so many people addicted to alcohol at least on some level.
