It is a drug.

It's legal because it's effects are less harmful than that of other recreational drugs, in the short term.

Yes, it is, 'moron'.

Because the government find it easier to legalise it and tax it. It is very dangerous but it's better than making it illegal. Prohibition in the USA taught a great lesson, then the alcohol was made illegally and sold on the black market. People will make it and drink it regardless of its legality, so for the sake of taxing and safety it's easier for the government to control its sale and usage.

Yes alcohol is a drug......i have no idea why its legal though


-- Posted by SpM at 7:04 am on Sep. 15, 2008

It's legal because the social ramifications of making it illegal would be devastating. Al Capone, anyone?

Sorry but please stop spreading such horrible mis-information.

Seriously does no one pay attention in history class? alcohol had been always legal untill the government set in prohibition, something that was very unwelcomed. Gangs rose and made a profit by smuggling and dealing alcohol so the government decided to make it legal again and tax it.

In reality marijuana is much less harmful then alcohol.

It's legal because it makes ugly girls look nicer than they really are!!


-- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 9:18 am on Sep. 15, 2008

Holy god I had no idea people were so stupid on the subject of alcohol. First, it is a drug, and a dangerous one at that. Far more dangerous than marijuana, lsd, mdma, or shrooms. It was made legal after prohibition because of all the violence it cause and because of the money that was to be made.

Seriously, that's what I was taught. There's no need to ridicule me because I trusted what my PSHE teachers were telling me.

Which from what Ive seen, isnt something you should do. Do your own research instead of trusting you teachers about something they were told to say. Alcohol is more dangerous short and long term than most recreational drugs

I do do my own research, but it seemed logical, and it's irrelevant to me, so I didn't question it

Asprin is a drug, why is it legal?
