Alcohol more harmful than heroin

Studies show that alcohol is responsible for more deaths and crimes than heroin, cocaine and LSD. Not just in terms of addiction but also in its devastating impact on families, healthcare systems, overcrowded prisons, and the economy fueling everything from fatal car accidents, violent altercations, toxic relationships, sexual assault, and property destruction. Yet, while other drugs are vilified, alcohol remains socially accepted, woven into celebrations, rituals, and daily life, despite the destruction it leaves in its wake.
