Alcohol doesn't destroy the mind like drugs do.
You stoners and druggies have destroyed so much... How many Einstein-quality minds were instead led into a life of munchies and dime bags? How many people suffered permanent destruction of their minds for a "little high?" How many loves were ruined because a person cared more for their fix, than their partner? - I know of at least one.

This is the cause of 'wet brain' or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is alcohol-related brain damage affecting language and thinking." - http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000339.htm
