The only idiot is one who doesn’t know that booze is a drug. That’s like saying that someone posted about rifles when a thread is about guns.
Of course alcohol is a drug. However, when any reasonable person says to another reasonable person, “I want to go take some drugs,” what would immediately come to mind? A shot of vodka? I think not. So let’s talk in layman’s terms, shall we? Stop with the semantics. But if that’s all you got, fine.
