Alcoholism isn't a disease. For all the alcoholics out there you can just quit. Pretty easy stuff, stop drinking. I've been dependent on it once and some of my close friends have it's easy to realize when you start to rely on it and it becomes a problem like all substances. As for alcohol I consider it a drug. It affects your consciousness just like any other legal/illegal intoxicant. Its always bugged me how my peers and teachers put alcohol seperate to drugs such as "drugs
and alcohol are bad." I have nothing against alcohol it's just an acceptable way of getting intoxicated instead of smoking a joint or tripping off some fungus which are deemed
BAD ways of getting intoxicated and worse
ILLEGAL! Unfortunatley there's plenty of less harmful substances out there that are demed illegal as mentioned.
