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.

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.
