Brit here, upvoted for the giggle, but behind that I must admit we brits arguably have a serious (as in not at all funny) drug problem and that drug is alcohol.

If it ain't broke

I personally knew someone who drank himself to death, literally. I've heard from reliable sources of quite a few others who did the same, so I reckon it's broke.

Even if you ignore those more extreme cases, alcohol is also a contributor to the obesity epidemic in Western countries.

And diabetes, liver damage, mental health problems caused by brain damage from alcohol and etc.

I'm very much open to complete drug legalisation but when I see the stupidity with which we treat the drug ethanol it makes me wonder.
