Ain't that a bit disingenious? Tell the mum/dad of the son who dies in a gutter through a heroin overdose we shouldn't be 'as concerned' coz the numbers are lower than those whoe end up there through booze. Remember, much of the drinking population are sort of 'over the age' of being interested in taking drugs anyway, or they just don't choose to. I've certainly grown out of it.

Absolutely. Just like any other.

We should not ever get rid of alcohol. We should get rid of the 'stupid' drinking culture that's popped up over the past twenty years or so. I've mentioned earlier where I think the problems lie. Some people succumb to the chocolate cake and die but even more will eat it as a little indulgence. For the same reason it'd be terribly unfair to ban the cholocolate cake methinks:-)x
