A drug is a drug, is a drug, whether you shoot it, snort, drink it or drop it on your eye. The "sharpest" people I know are not drug users.

You must move in very different circles to myself. All of the 'sharpest' people I know drink more than what most would consider to be moderate.

The whole 'drug is a drug is a drug' thing is simply a recipe for puritanism.

Arguing that alcohol is not a drug and people who drink are not drug users is odd.
